Jean Frédéric Ostervald letters
Manuscripts
Five letters written by Jean Frédéric Ostervald and one manuscript by an unidentified writer. Two of the five letters are addressed to Monsieur [Jean] Clogenson (1785-1876), a librarian in Alençon, and one letter, dated 1825, is addressed to Professor [Marc-August] Pictet (1752-1825), an influential editor and researcher who was a professor of natural philosophy at the Academy of Geneva. The recipients of the other two letters are unidentified. The letters are in French; one was written from Paris, France, while the origin of the others is unspecified. The four-page manuscript, also written in French, possibly by Ostervald, describes routes and travel times between numerous destinations, mostly within Switzerland.
