(Teresa of Naples and Sicily, 1782-1866, 6th daughter of Ferdinand IV and I of Naples, Queen of Louis Philippe I of France)
Autograph letter signed to “dear Baroness”
in Italian with translation, saying that she has “received your two letters... from which I noted with pain your current position, and this pain is even greater for me because I am unable to assist you as you wish. I didn’t answer you before because it was repugnant to my heart to tell you, but the fear that you might interpret my silence differently has given me courage and I ask you to be persuaded that if I cannot fulfil your wishes, my feelings for you have not changed because of this...”, 2 sides 8vo., St. Cloud, 15th September
