Description:
Autograph letter to Dana, editor of The New York Tribune, who has written to Hugo asking him for a contribution to the Tribune. Hugo has not replied earlier because he was supervising the clandestine printing of a new work (Les Châtiments), which involved a prolonged absence from Jersey. He declares that a mutual friend, Mr. Caylus, will explain why he cannot comply with Dana's request, but his two sons would willingly serve in his place. If Les Châtiments has not yet reached America, Hugo would gladly send an extract to Dana, through Mr. Caylus, for publication in the Tribune.
Written at Marine Terrace, Jersey.
Bought from Privat on 5 March 1965 for 250 francs.
