Schoppe, Amalie, Hamburg writer, enormously productive narrator, children's and youth book author, patroness of the young Friedrich Hebbel, editor of two magazines, head of an educational institution for girls, died in the USA (1791-1858). Eigh. Letter m. U. "Amalie Schoppe, geb. Weise" as well with address and seal. 1 p., very closely described. Gr. 4to. Winterhude 30.IV.1826. Extensive letter to the Dresden writer, court theatre secretary and editor of the Dresden "Abendzeitung" K. G. Th. Winkler (Pseud. Theodor Hell). Warmly recommends the conveyer of the letter, a Julius Lübber, who wants to open an assortment bookshop after his return in Hamburg. She herself had given up her Hamburg city apartment and had moved entirely to Winterhude. Then he comes to talk about Winkler's son-in-law and finally comes to his own writing work: "... I could not yet gain time to write a story for your evening paper, but my rural still life will give me more time, and then I think first of all about the lovely Waszentina ... Your dear evening paper didn't contain a word about my 'fucking-off paths' - did you forget them, my dear friend? Meyer certainly sent it to you, as I know: you would make me very glowing if you still said something about it now, because the good Meyer so eagerly wished this out of your kind pen; he wrote me about it these days. Remember this request of an old friend and fulfill it as soon as possible!" - The "good Meyer" probably refers to the versatile writer Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm Meyer (1758-1840) in Bramstedt, who is also known as the first biographer of Friedrich Ludwig Schröders.
