Description
Henriette-Louise de BOURBON-CONDÉ (1703–1772), known as Mademoiselle de Vermandois; although she was considered as a potential bride for her cousin Louis XV, she became abbess of Beaumont-lès-Tours. Autograph letter, [March 1728], to René Hérault, Lieutenant-General of Police; 1 page, small quarto, address bearing a red wax seal with the coat of arms. Congratulations on the birth of a daughter: ‘You well deserve to be told off, knowing the friendship I have for Mademoiselle Hérault and the interest I take in everything that happens to you, for letting me learn from the public news that she has given birth to a daughter’; she offers her congratulations and scolds him “as you deserve, for in truth, sir, such behaviour is appalling”.
