Berlioz,” Tuesday morning, November 10 [1863], to Joseph d’ORTIGUE; 2 pages, in-8. Following Joseph d’Ortigue’s article on *Les Troyens* (*Journal des Débats*, November 9, 1863). Note: “Forgive me if I did not thank you last night for your article; I have just reread it—it is superb, cordial, and demonstrates a complete understanding of the subject. I was taken aback by a few words at the beginning of the first column—words that had surprised and troubled me; but I repeat, forgive me for this exaggerated sensitivity, fueled by the worries and annoyances of all kinds in which I had been immersed for several days. Your article is admirable, full of heart and great clarity of mind. I embrace you with all my heart and all my soul”… General Correspondence, vol. VIII, no. 2789 bis, p. 529.
