XXXII. To Mother Jeanne Charlotte de Bréchard, Superior at Moulins.
London Visitation Nuns (Harrow translation
Vive ✠ Jésus!
Paris, July 9th, 1619.
My very dear Daughter,
This is only a line to announce the arrival of a good young lady[A] whom his Lordship and I are sending to you. She needs a home to retire to, and ardently desires to find it with us. Now, as we cannot have her here, we hope you will welcome her and look after her lovingly and charitably. She is a lady of quality and can give a good pension. She will not come to you for a fortnight, so that you may have time to get everything suitably ready for her. See that she has a little room with a very neat and comfortable bed and all things as we are accustomed to have them. Adieu, she will give you all our news. Do not expect his Lordship for the clothing ceremony. Alas! this good and dear Father feels far from well. Pray for him. I wrote to you the other day.
