Autographed letter signed by French musician and composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921) to an unidentified addressee, concerning his "protégé", one Ferdinand Nayrac, whom he knew during his stay in Cairo in 1891, but about whom we are unable to find any information.
"Cher monsieur, comme je ne voulais pas vous ennuyer je m'etais adressé à M. Bornier qui m'avait proposé lui meme de vous parler de mon protégé, et je pensais naturellement qu'il l'avait fait. Il s'agit de M. Ferdinand Nayrac que j'ai connu au Caire..." The composer goes on to describe how his wife is exhausted by the climate and they are looking for work in milder climes.
