STENDHAL Henri Beyle dit (1783-1842).
Set of L.A.S. from Henri BEYLE STENDHAL.
L.A.S. ('Beyle') to an unidentified correspondent [Victor Réal], 18 rue Jacob, Paris, Jan. 23, 1809, 4 pages, (annotated by the addressee on the 1st page)| and three letters addressed to Réal from other correspondents in Burgos, Valladolid, and La Bussière (Paris), Dec. 31, 1808-March 11, 1809 (two are addressed to him as 'Commissaire de Guerre de la Place de Briviesca [near Burgos]', 8½ pages,
Informing Réal (apparently a close friend) of his new position and that he has been detained in Paris, 'or rather this hazard is a charming trait of kindness of Mrs. D who has deigned to introduce me herself to the Min[istre]. Mr. D' has been very welcoming, and he will be employed at the commissariat of the Grande Armée, where Réal and his friends are invited to entrust him with their commissions. Social life is clearly exhausting -- "burdened with dinners and visits which for the most part are drudgery." Other comments refer to Réal's falling horses and the news of the bank's falling stock. The reference to 'Madame D' is probably to Alexandrine Daru, wife of his patron, Count Pierre Daru -- Stendhal was briefly in love with her. Daru, his father's cousin, helped him to obtain the post of commissioner of wars in 1806, and in 1809 after transfers to Strasbourg and Vienna, he was appointed auditeur at the Conseil d'Etat. Victor Réal may have been a member of the family of Count Pierre-Françoissss Réal (1757-1834), prefect of police under the Empire. In the 1830s, Stendhal fell in love with the 46-year-old widowed daughter of Count Réal (Eulalie Françoise Lacuée).
