FALLA MANUEL DE: (1876-1946) Spanish Composer. A.L.S., Manuel de Falla, also signed to the back of the envelope, three pages, 8vo, Granada, 4th August 1922, to Madame Magdeleine Greslé, at St. Jean de Luz, in French. Falla reports on the earthbrake that affected the city of Granada on 27th July 1922, stating in part ` Grâce à Dieu, le tremblement de terre n´a eu de mauvaises conséquences pour nous ni pour personne. Il a été bien long cependant, d´une durée de sept minutes environ, et je me suis réveillé par le bercement de mon lit. C´était pendant la nuit. Le palais de l´Alhambra n´en a pas souffert non plus, et la Vega, éclairée par la lune d´une façon vraiment féérique, est plus belle que jamais. Je vous écris en la regardant...´ (Translation: " Thank God, the earthquake had no bad consequences for us or for anyone. It was very long, however, lasting about seven minutes, and I woke up to the rocking of my bed. It was during the night. The Alhambra Palace did not suffer either, and the Vega, lit by the moon in a truly magical way, is more beautiful than ever. I am writing to you while looking at it...") Accompanied by the original envelope, addressed in Falla´s hand, postmarked and stamped. VG
