Letter of Henrietta Maria (translated) to Colepepper. Paris, . | |

35 | letters which you have written to lord Jermyn, that you think it would be for the benefit of the king that there should be a better understanding than heretofore between him and me . . . there is no fault on my side . . . for more than two years he has not confided to me the state of his affairs except what could not be concealed . . . .
