Finished Les
Miserables, Victor Hugo's grand work. What munificence of power! What
eloquence! What strength! How sublime even its absurdities! A waggish
acquaintance of mine calls it Lee's miserables. I must write a little note to
James Wood Davidson and thank him for this treat. He is ever kind to think of
me when it comes to a literary tid-bit.
