Very beautiful letter from Delacroix, enthusiastic about Arnoux's criticism of his work.

“Your very kind article has given me all the pleasure you can imagine. You tell me things from the rooftops and you certainly make me love my work infinitely more than I would by much. You also perfectly explained and understood what I wanted to express . I owe you compliments in turn. Your article seems to me to be very well understood and very well written as a piece of study and as a style appropriate to the judgment of a work of art. You are so good for devoting so much space to this review. All that remains is for me to hope that the public sees me with the same eyes as you. Receive, my dear Arnoux, with thanks, the expression of my sincere devotion. Ugh. Delacroix. »
