STENDHAL. Autograph letter signed under the pseudonym Albert de M to Vincenzo Salvagnoli. Civitavecchia, 24 March [1833]. 2 pp. 1/4 small in-4, with address, postmark and traces of red wax seal. Beautiful letter evoking the cities of Rome, Naples and Florence. Are you coming to Rome for Easter? Write to me so that I can be there. We were talking about you 8 days ago in the Potenziani Palace. [Potenziani]. Mr Pot is currently in Marseille. We envy Naples and Florence, which have shows. We discovered ancient tombs with bronzes equal to those of the Studi in Naples. A French sculptor called M. Lemoine has made a very beautiful Medea. Every Saturday we spend the night until 5 a.m. at Count Cini's, beautiful apartments, a young woman of 18 and everyone else. Has your laziness taken care of the trial? I won't write any longer for fear that you won't be able to read me. Many regards to Madame Enrichetta [Torrigiani Peruzzi]. He is looking for news of Giulia Rinieri, who is soon to marry his cousin Giulio Martini. He signs his letter with a new pseudonym, Albert de M, then reopens it to indicate that he is looking for a job as a servant for a poor boy. Marked folds, some light foxing, paper missing without affecting the text. Letter published by Jacques Houbert in L'Année stendhalienne, n°10, 2011, pp. 325-331.
