[Victor HUGO]. Juliette DROUET (1806-1883). L.A., Paris April 20, 1877, to Victor Hugo; 4 pages in-16. Love letter from old age (Juliette is 71, and Victor 75). "I'm going to satisfy my heart before my hunger: that's the least I can do. [...] we only have ten to twelve days of patience left to see our dear little travelers again. But we'll have to keep our table free of clutter for the three or four days leading up to this arrival, so that we can be fully occupied with the joy of regaining possession of our dear little ones. In the meantime, let's exhaust all obligatory invitations. My opinion is to please you in everything, everywhere and always, and to adore you on both knees.
