Trifle wrinkled, but in very good condition
Description
From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Trifle wrinkled, but in very good condition. 2 pages, 8vo, integral address leaf. A letter of encouragement to a young poet who had sent Sue some of his verses. (With transcript and English translation.) (BA) Reading in Full: "J’ai lu, Monsieur, avec beaucoup d’intérêt et de plaisir les vers que vous m’avez fait l’honneur de m’adresser ; n’étant pas poète, et étant par ce fait plutôt apte à vous dire mes impressions qu’à vous exprimer un jugement, je ne puis [que] vous parler que de ce que j’ai ressenti. Les idées m’ont paru tour à tour énergiques, gracieuses, touchantes, élevées, le style clair, souple, harmonieux. Croyez, Monsieur, que si mon approbation pouvait vous être de quelque encouragement à persévérer dans cette belle et bonne voie littéraire où vous êtes, elle vous est complètement acquise, et je concevrais difficilement qu’un esprit et une intelligence tels que les vôtres pussent douter de leur valeur, si la modestie n’était inséparable du talent. Les illustres témoignages qui ne vous ont pas manqué, monsieur, ont dû, ce me semble, vous rassurer, et je ne puis que joindre à ces éclatants et importants témoignages, l’expression de ma vive sympathie pour votre talent. Agréez, monsieur, l’assurance de mes sentiments les plus distingués.
