Description
ANNE OF AUSTRIA (1602–1666) Queen of France. Autograph letter, Montceaux, 3 September 1635, to Marshal de Brézé; 1 page, quarto, addressed with two small red wax seals bearing the coat of arms on pink silk backgrounds (two small holes repaired, resulting in the loss of a few letters). Letter of condolence to the Marshal following the death of his wife, Nicole du Plessis-Richelieu, the younger sister of Cardinal Richelieu. ‘My cousin, the great sorrow and distress you are experiencing following [the] passing of my late cousin, the Marshal’s wife de Breze, are so profound that they defy expression in the first pangs of grief; it will suffice for me to assure you that I share in them all the more because of the goodwill I bear you and the esteem I have always held for the rare qualities of the one whose whose loss you mourn give me every reason to do so”…
