[between August 1852 and October 1855]. "I love you and admire you as always, my great Victor. Extraordinary declaration of love from the father of The Three Musketeers to the poet in exile in Jersey.

My dear Victor, a friend of mine, happier than I, is going to embrace you. Only his kindness equals your genius. You know how much I love you. I talk about you every day - I think about you all the time - with Lamartine every time I see him - but I will never be able to admire and love you as I love and admire you. I promise you that the day the burden of work leaves my foot for a moment, I will only take one leap, from here to Marine Terrace, and never, my dear, beloved mistress, no matter how much she is loved, will have been held in a more loving heart.

Send my affection to the friend who wrote me the four charming lines I received - and if I had not feared being indiscreet, what mysteries of devotion I would have excluded. Oh, when you come back, my friend, and I hope it will be soon, what joy for my heart, whose manly part is all with you. I love you and admire you as always, my great Victor.
