VICTOR HUGO [Victor HUGO]. Juliette DROUET (1806-1883). - L.A.S., March 12 [1851], to Victor HUGO; 4 pages in-8 (one brown border). JOLIE LETTRE AMOUREUSE. Cold and flu, she had a very bad night, but she "resigned herself to the consummation of Juju, which will not be the consummation of the centuries if it pleases God. It seems sweet to you to be rid of me, my little man, but I find the incident much too prolonged and I would not be angry to change it. I will try to wipe away some of these cold and slimy feelings between now and tomorrow so that I can run after you and resume my duties as St. Roch's companion. [] It's the least I can do when I'm bored since I get bored when I'm having fun. One is naturally the counterpart of the other, if not its corrective. For your part, my little man, I must confess that you came less than ever. It's an undersensitive attention to which I've been very sensitive. It is perhaps what contributes to my head cold and in this case my gratitude equals my happiness. While waiting for the thing to be noticed more, I kiss you from the head to the feet inclusively and exclusively" A letter is attached to Paul de Saint-Victor, January 6 [1881], with envelope.
