Note 24 — FLECHIER'S CHRONICLE OF CLERMONT ASSIZES.[23]

These letters were addressed to a young Norman Lady, Mademoiselle Anne de Lavigne, who wrote sonnets in the Scudéry style, and with whom Fléchier kept up a gallant and high-flown correspondence in mingled prose and verse. As far as can be ascertained the liaison was an innocent one; it is quite certain that it caused no scandal at the time. Most of the letters bear date three or four years subsequently to the Grands-Jours.
