Why not use Writer for the first page?

That is the wrong tool for your purpose. Go to the very first paragraph 
of the page. Open the properties of that paragraph. Go to tab "Text 
flow". Enable Breaks "Insert". Enable "With page style". Enable "Page 
number". Enter 2.

The tool "Offset" has a totally different use case. It is used in letter 
for the information in the footer, that this page of the letter has a 
following page. And for this use case it is the correct behavior, that 
it is empty for the last page of the letter.

Kind regards
Regina
