To "Monsieur Tarride libraire" on the publication of his "Napoléon le Petit", which Hugo had written after leaving France and going into exile in Brussels. Afterwards moving to London, Hugo wrote the present letter to his publisher, who was up to release the book illegally on August 7: "[...] je m'empresse de vous informer que vous pouvez en toute sûreté mettre sur la couverture le nom de M. Jeffs comme éditeur".
