Autograph letter signed ("C. Pissarro") in French, addressed to "Mon cher Rodolphe" and writing that the artist is going to Varangeville-sur-Mer to visit Jacinthe Pozier and will be happy to do a study for him starting at 5 o'clock in the morning since it is "the best hour to avoid the heat". He also adds that he has finished to work on a series of paintings; one page, mid-horizontal fold, browned ink, some yellowing to paper, signature slightly faded, mounted, framed and glazed together with two colour reproductions of works by the Franch artist, 8vo, Eragny-Bazincourt par Gisors (Eure), 16 August 1896. Eragny is a village is northern France where Pissarro rented a house in 1884. The place became a very important source of inspiration for the artist. The works mentioned in the letter could be the paintings of the orchard owned by Pissarro's family in Eragny, which were conceived in late July and early August. In a letter dated 17th August 1896 to his son Julien he wrote "I'm not moving from our meadow. I did four highly studied paintings but ...the weather is so changeable that I dare venture no further" (Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, Pissarro: Critical Catlogue of Paintings, Milan, Paris 2005, vol. 3, p. 715)
