SAY ", Paris, rue du faubourg Saint Martin, N°92, September 5, 1824, addressed to Mr RAMUS, Minister of the Holy Gospel in GENEVA, about his family. 2 pages in-4° : " It is not without feeling a deep gratitude that I learned the consolations that my poor Aunt Mrs. DUVOISIN receives from you, who took the place of my mother at several times of my life, of her life that her age and her infirmities reduce now to a deplorable state. I have the pain of being sick myself of not being able in her old age to give her the care that I received from her in my childhood. My daughter is sick on her side of a rather tenacious illness... You can judge by this how precious your visits are for a crippled person... Fortunately I have in Geneva two relatives on my mother's side, Mesdemoiselles RATH, with whom friendship binds me even more than blood, and who have promised to substitute for me as much as possible... They have all my confidence... ". + an autograph bill signed.
