CLÉMENTINE, princesse de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1817-1907)
L.A.S.: "Clémentine" Laeken, July 22, 1833, 3 pages, addressed to a member of her family, text in French, folds, as is. "Dear friend, I have received a very long letter from you which gave me great pleasure except for the end which pained me, when I saw that you had tired your sight to write to me. I would rather be deprived of a letter from you, which would be a great privation, than to know that you were tired in the least. I received the wallet, which seemed very convenient, and I thank you very much for it. As for what you told me about Mr Boismelin, I knew nothing about it, you know how mysterious we are, and perhaps Mama herself knows nothing about it. I'm upset, I think it's a loss for Chartres, but I'm not at all surprised. For a long time, he had been complaining about his very false position, especially when traveling. Now that Chartres is going to spend some time at the Compiègne camp. Mr Boismelan would have had nothing to do. I am very happy that Chartres is angry about this departure (...) unfortunately I will not be able to go and see the churches in Brussels that you have indicated. We're not moving from here, now less than ever, Mama wouldn't want to leave Louise, but that's for another time (...) last night, after dinner, we had the whole French and Belgian household, and we circled with them for more than an hour and a half (...) farewell dear friend, I still have to write to the little queen, it's bothering me a bit (...)".
