Note 1 — HONORÉ DE BALZAC (continued 6)
Katharine Prescott Wormeley translation
This letter in itself shows the falseness of those which purport to have been written in January, February, and March. It is that of a man true to himself in one of the greatest struggles of humanity; for, it must be remembered, such trials were not negative in a man of Balzac's nature.—TR.
