Holographic note by Marie Josephine Louise (future wife of Louis XVIII), written when she was Comtesse de Provence. The note reads: "Je donne mille ecus de pension sur ma Cassette au Sr. Arnault en qualite de secretaire de mon Cabinet qui lui seront payes par quartier, Versailles, 3 October, 1786." There is a later note in a different hand below, signature unclear, dated 1821. The two notes are on one half of a 10 1/2" x 7 1/2" sheet. The letter was acquired at some point from Brentano's Rare Books and Autographs, New York, based on an accompanying folder.
