Summary
Writing that she knows that her "chere fille" does her errands well and with enthusiasm, and that she does not need any confirmation that they have been completed; sending 100 francs for M. Magris; asking her to discover the intentions of François [Porcher?] and the reason for his visit there; commenting that he would be better off at Maintenon and that she will help him gladly; fearing that he will, " remplir encore ce village de pauvres qui en a deja assez."
