Summary
Thanking him for his affection and telling him that he will never help anyone else who has more affection for him than she. Saying that, since le sieur de Beaulieu [Jean de Beaulieu] is returning [to see Richelieu], she thinks she would do him (Beaulieu) a disservice if she made this letter longer and she is therefore [ending it and] entrusting it to Beaulieu.
