MARIE-JOSÈPHE DE SAXE (1731-1767) Dauphine of France; mother of Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X. L.A.S., April 3, 1748, to her brother [François-Xavier de Saxe ?]; 1page in-4. About her portrait by Maurice-Quentin de La Tour. She will take care of his wishes with the bookseller de L'Espine. "I have already ordered my portrait for you, but if you want to wait a little, you can have a better one, because I will be painted by a man named Latour, who never misses a portrait. She hopes that her brother will come soon and asks him to forgive her for not having written to him "for some time but first I was at Marly where I hardly had time to write to the King and the Queen"; she has just been ill and embraces him with all her heart.
