Alberto Giacometti autograph letter signed, dated only ''Thursday'' on the verso of an uncancelled postcard of Innsbruck, Austria. Giacometti writes in black fountain pen to his childhood friend Alice Hirschfeld, translated from French in full, ''Dear Alice / This afternoon I wrote you a postcard, but it was so bad I could not send it. It's true that this one doesn't seem to me to be much better, but it will still go. Was it your birthday Wednesday? I am sending you all my best wishes a bit late, I'm not sure if that's the right spelling [with arrow pointing back to ''wishes'']. We took a lovely trip yesterday and tomorrow we are coming back, I am quite happy, I'm almost homesick! I hope to see you soon, I would be quite happy. I don't know how to end a postcard, so I will stop here. [in margin: I ask that you excuse the way it is written.] Alberto G.'' Uncancelled postcard measures 5.5'' x 3.625''. Near fine condition.
