She has received his letters "par lesquelles vous me tesmoignes vos affection et me convies daller a Angers prontement". She was detained because "those who have served me have not yet been re-established in their position [...] I cannot yet leave dicy as you judge that my honor and confidence oblige me to provide for what concerns those who have served me first than to think of myself. I have been told that people are trying to instill confidence in me, particularly in Sr de Luynes [...] you know that this is an artifice [...] vous conteres que je nauray james aultre but de servir le Roy monsieur mon filz et que je vos aimer tout ce qu'il aimet je vous lay dict je vous lescris vous me conoistreres veritable je me promes aussi les bons offices du Sr de Luynes aupres du Roy monsieur mon filz comme vous menes aves assuree ne doubtant puint que vous ny contribuiés ce qu'il vous seras possible"...

LOUIS XIII. Letter signed "Louis" TO PRINCE DE CONDE. Paris, December 18, 1626. One p. in-8, address on spine with remnants of red wax armorial stamps, small angular lack. "Mon cousin, aiant fait une assemblee de notables en ma ville de Paris pour avoir leurs advis sur les reglemens que je désire faire pour la reformation de mon Estat, j'ai bien voulu vous en informer avant qu'ils passent outre et vous depecher le sr de Guron [Jean de Rechignevoisin] sur ce subjet pour vous faire connoitre que je seray toujours bien ayse de vous don[n]er part de ce que je delibereray pour le bien de mon royaume, m'asurant que vous le souhetés co[m]me vous y estes obligé, m'estant ce que vous estes, ce qui me convira d'autant plus a vous temoygner la continuation de mon aff[ecti]on d'aussi bon cœur que je prie Dieu, mon cousin, qu'il vous tienne en sa s[ain]te garde... " HENRI II DE BOURBON-CONDE (1588-1646), RIVAL IN LOVE WITH HENRI IV AND REPENTED REBEL: although of Protestant lineage, he was raised Catholic at the express request of the Pope, who demanded this to enable Henry IV's absolution. After marrying Marie de Médicis, the king removed the Prince de Condé from the succession to the throne and, in love with Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency, had her marry him in the hope, in return for favors, that he would be a complaisant husband. A serious quarrel ensued, and the prince left France to keep his wife away from the enamored sovereign, even fighting against French troops in Italy for a time. Returning to France after the assassination of Henri IV, the Prince de Condé took part in the rebellions at the beginning of Louis XIII's reign, but later made a submission that proved to be sincere, even agreeing to marry his son (the future Grand Condé) to a great-cousin of Richelieu: he reaped important benefits, such as the government of Burgundy, and the inheritance of his brother-in-law the Marshal Duc de Montmorency (beheaded in 1632 for treason).
