[Victor HUGO]. Juliette DROUET (1806-1883). L.A.S. "Juliette", August 31 [1847], to Victor Hugo; 4pages in-8. Beautiful love letter. "Bonjour mon adoré, bonjour mon doux Toto, bonjour. I hope your night will have been as good as yesterday and that you are both in very good condition this morning. However, I wouldn't be angry if I knew for sure, because no matter how confident I am in my premonition, I still feel a touch of anxiety that torments my heart and makes the wait seem inordinately long and unbearable. Besides, the weather is just right for this kind of illness: neither too hot nor too cold. There's every reason to think that, with his health improving since yesterday, your toto [his son François-Victor] will be convalescing in a few days' time. But the good Lord has his own ideas on this, and we have to defer to him for want of anything better. Dear beloved, my Victor, my sweet beloved, I send you my thoughts, my soul, my love and my kisses to make you a little beaume for your heart in case you need it. Think of me from your side and try to come soon to bring me good news"...
