Description

“The man from Béarn…has a sparse crew, But if he had more, you would get more”

ANS in French, signed “Victor H.,” one page, 5.25 x 7.5, no date. Hugo quotes from Voltaire’s play ‘Charlot’ reading in full (translated): “The battle for your tickets, gentleman, is not without my good will. I wish I had many other ways of demonstrating to you how much I appreciate your cordial and noble help. But as you well know: ‘The man from Béarn [King Henry IV]…has a sparse crew, But if he had more, you would get more.’ Most cordially, I shake your four hands.” Intersecting folds, scattered light creases and toning, and a few small pinholes near top edge, otherwise fine condition.
