Autograph Poem Signed. One page, oblong Octavo, in French, n.p., n.d. A lovely signed four-line manuscript poem on the theme of Maternity in the author's own hand:
" Oh the love of a Mother, the love that doesn't ever forget!
Miracle Bread which by a God's grace when divided multiplies!
Feast served each day at the parental hearth!
Those who have tasted it forever crave it!
-- Victor Hugo ".
