A.L.S., V [ict] or Hugo , two pages, 8vo, Paris, 25 th October, 1837, to Monsieur Louis de Jivry?, in French. Hugo, in his usual difficult writing, states in part ` Combien je vous dois de remerciements Monsieur! J´arrive d´une petite excursion à la campagne, et je trouve votre excellent article. C´est un grand bonheur pour moi, croyez-le bien, que la sympathie des hommes de talent…comme vous. Vous etes du petit nombre de ces écrivains généreux… par la critique si dépravée et si perverse de notre époque…mais comme votre justiciable, je viens remercier, comme votre lecteur, je viens féliciter.´ (“How many thanks I owe you, Sir! I have just returned from a short trip to the countryside, and I find your excellent article. It is a great happiness for me, believe it, that the sympathy of talented men… like you. You are among the small number of these generous writers ... by the so depraved and so perverse critics of our time ... but as your litigant, I come to thank, and as your reader, I come to congratulate.”) Hugo further expresses his belief on the fact that they both share same concerns and passions, saying in part ` …vous aimez tout ce que j´aime, l´art, la nature et Dieu, nous sommes liés depuis longtemps.. par un rapport intime, c´est donc en ancient ami que vous me permettrez de vous traiter..´ (“..you love everything I love, art, nature and God, we have been linked for a long time.. by an intimate relationship, so it is as an old friend that you will allow me to treat you..”) With address leaf, postmarked.
