ALS in French, one page, 4.25 x 7, April 4, 1869. Letter written from Hauteville House, where Hugo lived during his time in exile, in full (translated): "Your letter of 16 March came yesterday, 3 April. By limping foot. As you see the post limps when it is a question of crossing the channel to come to Guernsey. It is much too late, doubtless, but never mind. I send you my best wishes and my congratulations. You are fighting the good fight. Bravo and thank you." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light stains, and a short split along the top of the vertical fold.
