Boy, it pays to write to artists. Look at the answers you get!
These letters are by Victor Hugo (topmost), Daubigny (above), and Gauguin (below). The Daubigny letter looks like it was done by Ardizzone (spelled right?), the modern illustrator.
Thanks for this recent post about the value of letters. Letters (in conjunction with created works and personal journals) serve as historical insight into the minds of our great cultural innovators. And letters allow an element of creativity beyond phone messages.
