CLÉMENTINE, princesse de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1817-1907) L.A.S.: "Clémentine", June 16, 1830 addressed to her father King Louis-Philippe (1773-1850), 1 page, in-4, text in French, curls and folds, but overall good condition. "Dear Papa, I am very grateful that you were kind enough to finish the letter Mom was writing to you, I will communicate it this morning to my brothers. I hope you have better weather for the race to Bysi than we have here, as it is dreadful. The museum you gave me, dear Dad, always amuses me to look at, and dear Dad, I kiss you from the bottom of my heart".
