Description

Folio 135. Unsigned and unaddressed letter, dated at the camp before Charleroi. Monsieur de Luxembourg came and wished him to go with him; he is there like a dog and runs the risk of not having a bed. Asks for news of Mlle de [Peyres?] and refers to Monsieur [Milou?] seeking to know where is her testament if she has made one. The prince is at Versailles, and he begs the recipient to tell him that he lacks the strength to write to him today. He will update him as soon as he can on all the dispositions of the siege and so on. Asks for his letter to be [given?] to Madame de Roquelaure.
