Includes an essay paying tribute to the personal style and comportment of American women, and arguing that they should have a style of their own rather than adopting European fashions (1911 September 20). The last sentence and the signature at the end are in Bernhardt's hand; the rest of the essay is in a different hand. With the essay is an English translation in another hand. Also, a small collection of notes and portraits, most of them mounted on card stock, along with a printed advertisement for a production of Victorien Sardou's play La Tosca, at the Garden Theatre, Madison Square Garden, starring Bernhardt (February, no year). The notes include two theater passes in Bernhardt's hand (Boston, 1896 April 2-3) and an autograph (1892). Portraits include two photographs of Bernhardt, one of them showing her with her bust of Medea in her sculpture studio in Montmartre (circa 1878); and one photo of a painted portrait of her by Jules Bastien-Lepage (1879).
