Original:

Fragment d’una carta de Jacint Verdaguer a Cosme Vidal en data 14 de juny de 1896. Biografia de Cosme Vidal escrita a mà per l’alcoverenc Andreu Barbarà.

Praise be to God. Praise Him for our trials and praise Him for the prosperity that He delivers to me, as your book "Verdaguer reivindicat” [Verdaguer Vindicated]. Never has such poetry been seen, nor have my books been elevated, nor has so much been done to honour to his poor diligent author when I was poorer and miserable and cast out by even his protectors, friends and relatives ...
