Composed upon a card with Joyce's address in Paris, letter circa 1924 reads in full, ''Tel: Segur 95-20 / Dear Suter: If Madame Suter is in Paris, perhaps she could come for tea on Wednesday at 4 or 4:30. My wife would like to speak with her - not about maids. If not, could you please give me a call? / How are you? Well, I hope. I have undergone a seventh operation. It was quite awful this time. / cordially yours / James Joyce''. Card measures 5.75'' x 3.5'' with writing on front and verso. Creasing and light soiling, overall very good condition.
