Excerpt from The Letters of Victor Hugo, to His Family, to Sainte-Beuve and Others Farewell, dear papa, I am impatiently awaiting your poem and the advice you promised me. My warmest thanks for all the trouble you are taking with me; your hints may turn out very useful to me for my second edition, which I must soon begin to think about, for the present one is being exhausted far more rapidly than I dared hope; do you think any copies will be sold at Blois? I have no space to write to you about my grand literary plans, but enough to tell you once more how much I love and respect you.
