Juliette DROUET Autograph letter signed to VICTOR HUGO with DRAWING
Juliette DROUET (Fougères 1806- Paris 1883), French actress, mistress of Victor Hugo
Autograph letter signed "Juliette" to Victor HUGO with DRAWING. August 20 (1841) Friday evening 4:3/4 p.m.; 4 pages in-4°. Letter partly restored.
A lovely letter full of humour, love and courage as Victor Hugo had just entered the Académie Française on 3 June 1841: "Am I your servant, heim? Try to answer me more quickly than that. And then I will tell you the age of Captain Lambert. There you are, you scoundrel with a pipe and red stockings. And my copy? Do you by any chance want to prevent me from WORKING? You are very capable of it with your sly air. Say, am I your servant? Poor beloved angel, thinking of all the troubles and all the embarrassments to which you are prey, I no longer have the courage to laugh. What are you going to do, my poor beloved? For my part, I do not see at all how you will be able to cope with all the charges that are multiplying around you; for my part, I am frightened beyond what I dare say. Poor beloved Toto, how will we manage while we are there? Finally, this is not the time to give in to discouragement, on the contrary. And as for me (…) I will make debts, debts and redebts rather than fail in what I owe to my love and your devotion. So let's not care about that in short and be happy in spite of all the absurd iniquities that are killing us on the hump. Say, we are not their servants and we make fun of them on foot and on horseback and soon in a carriage if it pleases God. [drawing representing a stagecoach pulled by six horses with Victor Hugo and Juliette Drouet inside]. So my Toto, do not be sad. I love you. I will make drawings to earn YOUR living. So be calm and then if I am not YOUR SERVANT I am your very faithful and very devoted SERVANT. Do not be sad my dear little beloved man. Juliette »
