Madame de Staël (Anne Louise Germaine Necker, Baroness of Staël-Holstein, known as) [Paris, 1766 – id., 1817], French writer. Autograph signed letter to Dr. Odier in Geneva. Meulan, February 4; 2 pages, in-8°. Envelope with postmark and a rare black wax seal bearing the Necker coat of arms. A lovely, friendly letter. “I am touched, sir, by your kind letter; the only thing missing is a word I was looking for—a mention of Madame Odier. Has she completely forgotten me? Does she no longer remember the pleasure she gave me? How much happier I was at this time last year! If I do not bring my son back and he goes ahead of me, I will rely on your kindness—it would be impossible for me to place him in Geneva anywhere other than at your home. My intention is for him to prepare for his First Communion there. [...] It’s true that I’m working here, but on a travel novel that I hope will interest you as much as it does young women. You must have seen your name the other day in the *Journal de l’Empire*, but didn’t the silence regarding my father remind you of Tacitus’s famous saying?”
