CLÉMENTINE, princesse de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1817-1907)

L.A.S.: "Clémentine", Cobourg, March 10, 1847 addressed to his sister-in-law, the Duchesse de Nemours, née Princess Victoire de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1822-1857), 2 1/2 pages, in-4°, text in French, creases, but overall good condition. "I thank you very much, my dear Vic, for your kind letter and for the constant affection you show us. Like you, I am also beginning to have politics over my ears, although here we only hear about it in the newspapers, and as for the Spanish marriages, they knock me out, yet I am quite happy that there is still no hope for Fernande, and I groan that it is the same for the Queen, especially as I fear that it will always be so! The whole interior of the Spanish family is distressing, and the details I have learned make me blush for our blood. What do you say in the midst of all this to Christine's arrival in Paris with her ten children! (...). One of the great occupations of Germany at the moment is the ridiculous passion of the King of Bavaria [Louis I] for Lola Montés, a passion that outrages the country and may lead to revolution. I think "the old man is mad". The cold has returned, sharper than ever, with a chill of 8 degrees, thick snow and a violent wind. Ernest and Alexandrine are coming back here next week; they're not going to Berlin anymore. Auguste calls me for a walk. I leave you with a heartfelt kiss, as do Tan and the Moutards, a thousand kindnesses from Auguste. Tonight we're having a big dinner of the breed of doctors that abounds in Coburg. Would you be so kind as to send me a pair of Gaston's pants in a letter? I'll need them as a model for the ones I have to make for Philippe".
