ALS in French, one page, 4.5 x 6.75, January 18, 1871. Letter to an unidentified recipient. In full (translated): “It goes without saying that the Authors' Society, by paying 3,000 francs, the remainder from the reading of Les Chatiments, to the fund of the Society for assistance to victims of the war, will never surpass that sum in the requests that could be made of that fund and it is even certain that it will remain inferior to that figure.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, some scattered spotting and soiling, a few stray marks, and a small hole to top left. Les Chatiments is a collection of poems fiercely attacking Napoleon Ill's Second Empire. On Jan. 19, one day after this letter, Hugo was elected a deputy to the National Assembly.
