HUGO Victor (1802-1885). L.A.S. "Victor Hugo", [ca. 1840?], to Louis DESNOYERS; 1 page in-8 with crowned AH, address. Recommendation in favor of Petrus BOREL. [Louis DESNOYERS (1802-1868) directed the newspaper Le Siècle. Victor Hugo recommended him Petrus BOREL, the "Lycanthrope" of the romantic movement]. "You probably still know M. Petrus Borel only as a writer of imagination and fantasy. You will soon appreciate him as a man of science and positive studies, if you will read a special article that he brings to you and which seems to me very interesting and very curious. I believe that this article would be perfectly suitable for the Siècle, and I would be delighted if you would thank me one day for having introduced you to Mr. Borel. I am sure that he will always thank me for having given him yours"... Attached is a L.A.S. "Victor Hugo", Monday evening 22 [January 1844?], to the lawyer Jean-Baptiste DUVERGIER (1 page in-8, address). "If you think it good, my honorable and dear friend, and if you do not give me an order, I will be at your house on Thursday at one o'clock"...
