HUGO Victor [Besançon, 1802 - Paris, 1885], poète et écrivain français
Autograph letter, signed "Victor Hugo", addressed to Eugène Pelletan. Hauteville House, March 4; 1 page in-8°, with address, small tears. "My eloquent and dear confrere, I am happy that the raised tribune has been inaugurated by you. Everything is missing from a platform like this, but nothing is missing from a speaker like you. You were indignant, skillful and powerful. Your eloquence is of those who bite the gag, break it and spit it out. We see the shackle flying loose with your irritated speech. You're free anyway. Congratulations and kisses. Victor Hugo."
