L.S. with autograph compliment " Vretres humble et tres obissant frere et subgetFrançoys ", Paris March 22, 1570, to Charles IX; 1 page folio, addressed with seal of arms on paper (slight foxing). Beautiful supplication to the king his brother. He begs him to grant the five of his officers who denounced the usurer who is currently on trial, the gratuities to which they are entitled: "My lord, there are five of my officers who have been warned of some confiscation ready to be judged, against an accused and accused of usury, by your prosecutor. And desiring that they be granted the gift that they request from you. I dare to write you this letter to beg you very much, Monseigneur, to be willing to grant them to me, if you are pleased to do so..."...Former Marcel Deviq collection.
