Château de Vallery [in the present-day department of Yonne], April 4, 1660. 1 p. in-4, address on the spine, heraldic seals in black wax with remnants of black ribbon. “I have received, with the respect I owe, the gracious tokens Your Royal Highness has given me of the honor of your remembrance, and I HAVE LEARNED from the Marquis de Saint-Damien [Victor-Aimé de Maillard] THE FEELINGS YOU HAD REGARDING MY RETURN. I shall remain grateful for this all my life, and shall carefully seek out opportunities to show you that no one in the world is more truly, than I, Your Royal Highness’s most humble and most obedient servant... Daughter of Henry IV and Marie de’ Medici, and thus aunt of Louis XIV and distant cousin of the Grand Condé, Christine of France was Duchess of Savoy from 1630 to 1637 through her marriage to Victor Amadeus I, then served as regent from 1637 to 1648 on behalf of their son Charles Emmanuel II, who married in 1663. For more on the Prince of Condé’s conduct during the Fronde and his return to favor in 1659, see No. 26 above.
