Future King Louis XVIII expresses his pain about the death of his sister in law Marie-Antoinette, guillotined two weeks earlier.
“Je n’ai jamais douté de vos sentiments, Monsieur, mais leur expression ne m’en fait pas moins de plaisir et je suis fort sensible à la part que vous prenez à ma juste douleur.
Soyez persuadé, Monsieur, de tous mes sentiments pour vous
Louis Stanislas Xavier”
Scarce letter from Louis XVIII during the Revolutionary time. Beautiful signature.
