In this letter, Baudelaire talks to him about a possible criticism of Les Paradis: I know at the Moniteur M.M. Sainte Beuve, Claudin and Reynard. It goes without saying that if Sainte Beuve would agree to deal with this book, which I believe is worthy of his attention, everything would be for the best. But also everything you do will be good and your choice will be good. All yours. Ch. Baudelaire. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
