Françoise d'Aubigné, marquise de MAINTENON (1635-1719), morg - Lot 348
Françoise d'Aubigné, marquise de MAINTENON (1635-1719), morganatic wife of Louis XIV, founder of the house of Saint-Cyr for young girls. L.A.S., June 6 [1702 ?]; 2 pages in-4 (small center hole). On the King's health. "We have much trouble here with the vapors of King Cath. It is a very unfortunate illness for a prince who needs a good head, and who has great affairs on his hands. You see closely those which have always caused you so much pain, Mr. de Vendosme begins well God willing that he continues, but I fear the length and that everything will be a quarrel because it seems that the enemies do not want to come to blows" [the Duke of VENDOME fought in Italy during the war of the Spanish succession]. She thanks her correspondent for writing to her so often in spite of her business "I cannot however ask you to cease our trade because it gives me a very great pleasure"...
