Summary
Explaining that she has communicated his request to the King [Louis XIV], and that he is willing to help as long as there are no problems, but that the situation does not look promising; asking him to tell the Bishop of Chartres [Paul Godet des Marais] that M. [Louis-Henri] de Saint-Hermine is not the brother of M. [Joseph] de Mailly nor the brother of [François de Franquetot, duc de Coigny], recently named maréchal de camp, but that he is of the same house, "et d'une maniere qui oblige M. de Mailly a luy donner une pension de [52?] escus."
