Mr d'Arche is paying a pension that the King gave to a parish priest of my friends, who was only due to receive it in a year's time, before he came into possession of the income from his bishopric. Mr de Bercy has particular attantions for what concerns Maintenon and which depends on him. You can see, Madame, that everything that is close to you treats me quite well, and that I am right to pass on to you the regnoissance that I have of it"...
