DIAGHILEV SERGEI: (1872-1929) Russian ballet impresario, founder of the Ballets Russes. A.N.S., with his monogram SD, one page, small 8vo, London, n.d. (circa 1925), to Boris Kochno, on the printed stationery of the Savoy Hotel, in Cyrillic. Diaghilev asks for his nose clip to be sent to him. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Diaghilev to Kochno in Room 351. Further including an amusing original newspaper clipping apparently included alongside the original message, being an image of a kitten feeding herself milk from a baby's bottle, with the caption beneath 'Dining in Comfort - A "Daily Express" reader's happy snapshot of a motherless kitten who is quite content to be bottle-fed'. Rare. Some very light, minor age wear, and the left edge of the stationery very slightly irregular, otherwise VG

Boris Kochno (1904-1990) Russian poet, dancer and librettist who became Diaghilev’s secretary in 1920, and was eventually his main collaborator. The two men were also lovers for a brief period.
