LOUISE-MARIE, reine des Belges, princesse d'Orléans (1812-1850)

Set of 4 L.A.S.: "Louise", dated September 26, 1839 to November 27, 1840, bearing no. 46, no. 49 and no. 52, sent from Laeken and Brussels addressed to her sister Princess Clementine, 17 pages, on headed paper with her monogram embossed under royal crown, text in French, foxing and folds, as is. Interesting correspondence, in which the young queen talks about her daily life, tastes and grooming style. She also talks about her fatigue after the birth of her last child, Princess Charlotte. Laeken, November 27, 1840: "I have come to ask you, dear Amie, to send me as soon as possible a pretty chair (...) in the price range of 2, 3, 500 francs and above. I don't want to exceed 550 to 600 francs. I'll send the box back the day after I receive it. I don't want just a chair, I want a nice chair; I'd like to find something nice between 200 and 400 francs. I'm sure you'll find what I need, it's to surprise Princess Thérèse d'I... Something for the daughter of Countess F... to whom I want to make a present. Thank you for your letter of the 25th". - Laeken, November 19, 1840: "I don't have much to tell you this morning, dear Amie. Léopold, who had a small attack the other day, is better, (...), irresistible for part of the day. The kids are fine. I'll go and say hello to them in a little while. I won't tell you about the details of the capture of A.. and the details of the address. I can't talk about it or think about it calmly, and it all agitates me and makes me sick in my heart, but silently, what I can't understand is (...) our government. (...) I also have good news from V.R. [Queen Victoria]. I'll write to you, send a letter to (...). I would ask you when you have time to answer the various questions in my last letter (...) if the Queen [her mother, Queen Marie-Amélie] could send me 2000 frs which I would be very happy to have, or if she has no francs at my disposal. Adieu, chère amie, je suis un peu fatigué par ma tête. All yours". etc.
