ALS in French, one page, 6 x 7.75, May 5, 1850. Written while in banishment, living on the island of Guernsey, Hugo thanks his correspondent for the excellent translation sent him and the proceeds with the following: "I have only been the echo of universal thought and it is there where my strength is shown. It is also there where the weakness of my adversaries is shown…they are crazy let us pity them. But they are numerous, let us fight!" In very good to fine condition, with toning from prior display, and professionally backed to strengthen splits to the intersecting folds.
