The dramatic commission, which is richer than the committees, would also take care of him; but it would be necessary, I believe, for our poor friend to make his request officially. Write to him in this sense..." + L.A.S. to Albert AUBERT, of SAINTE-PÉLAGIE (Prison) of January 12, 1846 - "My friend. I am moved to tears, delighted to ecstasy by your admirable serial. It would make me believe in the goodness of my work. Your talent, like a magic prism, has illuminated it with a thousand colors and a thousand lights. What praise for God's sake! It is overwhelming, frightening! The least criticism, you wrap it with myrrh and balsam, rose and laurel. If I don't die of joy, I'll die of fear. What a bill of exchange you have just drawn on me for the future! You kissed me too hard, noble and robust friend, I choke, I am lost. you see, I have already lost my head. I make you reproaches. Ah, I am mad, I am drunk, my heart is overflowing, you have filled it with a feeling of gratitude that will never cease to answer and that always fills it." - 1p in-8°.
