Hortense de BEUHARNAIS. Signed autograph letter to Countess Pauline von Neale. Arenenberg Castle[in the Swiss canton of Thurgau], 6 December 1834. 1/2 p. in-8, address on the back, red wax stamp at its initial. "I couldn't have forgotten you, Madam, you were entering one of my childhood memories and those memories don't fade away. I remember the pleasure we had in talking together at the Tuileries, and probably if we found each other again the conversation would be sadder than it was then. I was very happy to see your sister[Sophie von Neale] and talk about you. I regret that you did not accompany her to Switzerland. We live in a small isolated corner of the world where nature is so beautiful that it consoles us with the misconceptions of life, even though it cannot erase its pain. Believe in the pleasure I would have in receiving you there and in renewing the assurance of the feelings I have dedicated to you... "Pauline von Neale was the lady of honor of Frederick II's niece, Princess Radziwill born Louise of Prussia.
