Descrizione

8vo. 3 pp. on bifolium. Emotional farewell letter to his grandmother Wilhelmine Oehler in Halle, on the eve of his moving to Basel, where Nietzsche assumed his professorship on 28 May 1869. He attached his doctoral diploma to thank his grandmother for a congratulatory letter, apologizing for being unable to present it in person due to a "flood of urgent affairs". The letter reveals an anxious Nietzsche in the face of "setting forth into a new world, into a difficult and exhausting profession, among strange and unfamiliar people and conditions". Proud of his career move, he thanks Mrs. Oehler for her emotional support and expresses his hope to "receive only good news of her health in his new domicile", underscoring that she had earned all his respect and love due to her "tireless efforts" for the well-being of the family. - Traces of folds. With some minor tears to the upper border and two restored fold tears.
