"elle sort le mois prochain (et elle le mérite bien) elle vous est bien reconnaissante."

Autograph letter signed by Louise Michel addressed to Lucien Barrois; one and a half pages written in black ink on a bifolium of white paper with black border. Transverse folds inherent to posting.
Mrs. Vernier will be released from prison thanks to Louise Michel's assistance: "elle sort le mois prochain (et elle le mérite bien) elle vous est bien reconnaissante. Remerciez Clémenceau Lafont et Clovis Hugues avec Laguerre (peut-être tous les quatre qui ont apostillé la demande)." ["she is released next month (and she well deserves it) she is very grateful to you. Thank Clémenceau Lafont and Clovis Hugues with Laguerre (perhaps all four who endorsed the request)."]
A moving letter, testimony to the unwavering devotion of the former Communard.
