She was executed by firing squad in Paris. A good A.L.S., `Mata Hari´, two pages, 8vo, n.p., [Paris], n.d., [1908], on the Hotel Majestic, Paris, printed stationery, to Monsieur Gerson, in French. Mata Hari is not in favour of performing in London as a priority and complains about imitators dancers everywhere, stating `Here it is, a letter from London, you see that it is better to wait till next season. You better take care of the Egypt business, but be careful, you see how these small dancers grow like mushrooms. London is very foolish. We must make the whole Europe first and London after.´ Extremely small overall minor age wear, otherwise VG
Nicol Gerson was a Parisian impresario and artistic director in charge of Mata Hari´s tours and spectacles. The present letter provenance is from his correspondence archive.
