Summary
Celebrating the victory of the archibishop over rivals; commenting that M. [Louis-Antoine, cardinal] de Noailles is now of his opinion; asking for news of his family so that she can ask M. Nesmond [Henri de Nesmond, évêque de Montauban, archevêque d'Albi et de Toulouse?] to send her the niece of M. d'Aubigné; hoping to see him soon in St-Cir [Saint-Cyr].
