Commentary This scene does not happen; Sancho lies to don Quixote saying that,as he had forgotten don Quixote's letter for Dulcinea, he repeated it to a sacristan, who copied it out for him from hearing it.
The figures are excellent (see Sancho's gesture). 
Notes 1 - Same tailpiece and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.
