About This Item
In this letter dated July 12th, 1797, Jacobi was attempting to set up a visit to German poet and critic, Heinrich Wilhelm von Gerstenberg in Altona, and wrote in part "I will orally tell you, dear excellency, how I have lived here in the castle for three weeks in a kind of captivity; also how I wanted last Friday to announce to you and your wife that my sister and I would call the following afternoon and was prevented from doing so. Now, we would like to call tomorrow afternoon. Should this not be convenient for you, please write me a line addressed at Kerthos the bookseller's.... "
Heinrich Wilhelm von Gerstenberg (1737-1823) was a German poet and critic who did much to support the Sturm und Drang movement but who at the time of this letter was much more involved in Kantian philosophy.
