Text: "I met Thursday evening, almost leaving you, M. Hugo who asked me to excuse him to you because of the note in the Débats. He was leaving the next day, and he had to think about his trunks and his passport. He explained to me that, for the insertion of an advertisement of this kind, it would have been necessary for him to go himself to the Debates and that a letter was not enough; that the note he had put in for Esquiros, that he would have acted that time only to recommend a book, which makes no comment on my newspaper, instead of a newspaper; that it would have been good for him to speak about it himself to M. Bertin, and that he regretted it. Bertin, and that he deeply regretted that he no longer had the time, and that he would have done so with care if you had asked him a few days earlier. I repeat to you more or less what Mr. Hugo told me, and this to explain to you the non-insertion of the note". Background: the author's brother, Charles, was the husband of Victor Hugo's daughter, Léopoldine. When Hugo died, he was one of his executors.
