FRANÇOIS DE SALES (saint). Autograph letter, [most likely addressed to Saint Jeanne de Chantal]. S.l.n.d. One p. in-4oblong, mounted on cardboard with glass frame. "J'ai repensé, ma trés chere mere au desir que M[m]ede Gouffier a de venir vous prendre, et l'ai conferé avec ses lettres, et m'est venu en l'esprit que peut-estre il ne seroit pas si hors de rayson qu'il me sembloit d'abord puisque ell[e] a son esprit si embarassé et plein de choses qui l'affligent. Àelle la peine de venir et la despense de son voyage, mays nous en parlerons, Dieu aydant, ce soir, cependant vous y penserés un peu, et moy [j']aura[y] eu ce petit sujet de donner le bonjour au trés aymé cœur de ma mere." After reading the Introduction to the Devout Life of St. Francis de Sales, Marie-Elisabeth de Gouffier came into contact with the latter and, thanks to him, was able to leave her monastery at Le Paraclet in 1614, to visit Jeanne de Chantal at the monastery in Annecy (1613). She also obtained permission to remain there for a time and to wear the habit, but without being a Visitation nun. She went on to render outstanding service to the Order, helping to found new monasteries in Moulins and in Paris in her own house on the Faubourg Saint-Marcel (1619). However, an exalted and unstable spirit, she asked to leave the Visitation (1620) and came into conflict with the mother de Chantal over money. Saint Jeanne de Chantal, founder of the Visitation Order. Jeanne Fremyot (1572-1641), Baroness de Chantal by marriage, was the daughter of a president of the Burgundy parliament. After meeting Saint François de Sales, who came to preach in Dijon, she asked him to become her spiritual director. Widowed, she joined St. Francis de Sales in Annecy, and founded the Order of the Visitation with him in 1609. She ensured the development of a large network of monasteries, which she animated with her zeal - and was canonized in 1767. She was also the grandmother of the Marquise de Sévigné. Provenance: Bishop Pierre-Joseph Rey of Annecy (1770-1842, autograph note signed with red wax seal on verso). In 1826, Bishop Rey, then bishop of Pignerol, delivered a speech to the Court of Piedmont-Sardinia on the occasion of the transfer of the relics of Saint François de Sales and Saint Jeanne de Chantal to the new Visitation basilica. In 1836, as Bishop of Annecy, he founded a triduum of prayers in honor of François de Sales in the chapel of the Château des Allinges. -Canon Mercier, parish priest of Notre-Dame parish in Chambéry, who maintained special links with the Visitation Sainte-Marie de Chambéry, becoming its referent in 1867.
