Sosthènes de LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, Vicomte de la Rochefoucauld, Duc de Doudeauville (Paris 1785 - Château d'Arminvilliers/ Seine-et-Marne 1864) Aide de Camp to the Comte d'Artois 1824, Député de la Marne in 1815 - Autograph letter signed from MONTMIRAIL, Marne, August 14, 1840, to a Lady. 1page in-8°.

I have absolutely no idea what will become of me, but in any case, I'll surely be in Paris towards the end of the year, and my door will always be open to you..."
