SAINT-SIMON LOUIS DE ROUVROY, DUC DE (1675-1755)

L.A.S. "Le Duc de St Simon", Paris 22 June 1744, to the Count d'ARGENSON, Minister Secretary of State| 1 page in-4 (stamp of the Argenson Archives).
Nice letter of compliments on Louis XV.
"One cannot Monsieur is more obliged to you than I am, ny more touched by the kindness of the King. I beg you to add to what I owe you, the service of presenting him my truest and most respectful recognition and if I have the honour of being well known, the most lively joy that I feel from all the personal honour, and the glory that he acquires in the eyes of all Europe"... He owes too much to the Minister to fail in his duty of secrecy, and assures him of his friendship... At the head,
ARGENSON noted: "Jen has reported to the King".
