Catherine de Vivonne, marquise de RAMBOUILLET... - Lot 158 - Ader
Catherine de Vivonne, marquise de RAMBOUILLET (1588-1665) the famous Précieuse, who welcomed poets and artists in her hotel. L.S., Paris March 13, to M. Dumont in Rambouillet; 1 1/2 pages in-4, address with remains of red wax seal. To her steward. She asks him to solicit the marquis de Maintenon on her behalf: "needing to have two mills in Dangeul rebuilt, I must have a tree cut down". She asks the permission to cut it down, because it is situated partly on a land of the marquis; she will have it estimated and will not fail at once "to put the value of the estimation in the hands of whom he will order it [...] The pike that you sent to me was found and by me and by all those who saw it and ate it admirable as well in kindness as in size"...
