LA FAYETTE, Marie Madeleine, Countess of Pioche de la Vergne - Lot 58
LA FAYETTE, Marie Madeleine, Countess of Pioche de la Vergne [Paris, 1634 – id., 1693], French writer. Autograph letter addressed to Mr. Ménage. July 17 (1657), 3 pages, in-8°. She is looking for a house in Paris. “We are fully resolved to go to Paris after St. Martin’s Day, and we understand very well how important this lawsuit is to us; indeed, we would very much hope that nothing at all happens between them by that time, and that is why we hope that the prosecutor’s motion to consolidate the two cases will be dismissed, for we would not achieve the result we could hope for—which is to have the cases referred back to the inquisitions— which would still serve to delay all the proceedings currently taking place in the Grand Chamber. Madame de Sévigné has been tasked with finding me a house, but if you get involved, it won’t do any harm; I would very much like to live near Madame de Sévigné, that is, near the Place Royale.”
