Description
Victor HUGO (1802–1885) – Signed autograph letter to the Belgian poet and journalist Charles Potvin (1818–1902). 1 p. in-8. No place [Brussels], no date. Address on the reverse. ‘My dear fellow citizen in democracy and freedom, it is half past twelve; your letter was handed to me after my lunch. I am scolding my kind landladies a little for their lack of punctuality, for I would have been delighted to join you. Unfortunately, it is too late now; I have already had lunch, but that will not prevent me from coming to shake your hand shortly, and that of your friends, who are also mine. Yours wholeheartedly. Victor Hugo”. Expert: Emmanuel Lorient of Traces écrites in Paris
