STAËL (Germaine Necker, Baroness de). Autograph letter signed to a Parisian doctor. Chaumont-sur-Loire [in the department of Loir-et-Cher], May 14 [1810]. One p. 3/4 in-12, traces of glue at the corners of the blank sheet with angular loss. "Why aren't you free to come here - I would so much like to chat with you. - there is even a chapter of my work [De l'Allemagne] that I wanted to ask you about, but you are now a public man and I dare not hope to see you - I don't know if I have anything to complain about, I admire you and that makes me forgive everything - GIVE ME A PROOF OF AFFECTION WHICH WILL BE DEARLY DEAR TO ME, HEAL ALBERT of a growing deafness [his son Albert de Staël, who would nonetheless become Bernadotte's aide-de-camp in Sweden] - it's a great misfortune which has joined all those in my life. He wants to serve and his accident will prevent him from doing so. I am sending him to Paris to consult you. I beg you to dictate to him in writing the treatment he must undergo and to tell me truthfully if there is any hope. I HAVE SUPERSTITION IN YOU, WHICH IS EVEN BETTER THAN TRUST. Adieu. I am able once to give you an appointment on the road when I leave, if you cannot come here." Exiled from Paris by Napoleon I's decree of October 13, 1803, Madame de Staël lived at her château in Coppet, Switzerland, and made a long journey through the German-speaking world. From March to August 1810, she stayed in Chaumont with her friend James Leray, to supervise the printing of her book De l'Allemagne, which was being printed in Tours. She sent a copy to Napoleon I, who took offense at some of the passages and had the edition destroyed.
