L.A.S. "Victor H", Paris February 8 [1872], to Mme Zélie ROBERT in Mulhouse| 2 pages in-8, with stamped envelope.
Intervention on behalf of a young Communard.
"Have courage, Madame. I spoke to M. Léon Bigot, who defended Maroteau. He will defend your son. From today he will go to
Versailles. You can count on him as much as on me| he is eloquent and courageous. Your letter to the judges is touching| he thinks he can use it in his plea. You can write to him directly. [...] Hope. I have little faith in the indulgence of these sword-wielding judges| but any sentence that is too harsh will be broken by public sentiment, and before long, the inevitable amnesty will return your son to you. In the meantime, we'll do our best. I congratulate M.
your husband on his success in Mulhouse| it's the beginning of a return to happiness"...
