The Princesse de Lamballe to the Princesse de Tarante; in a letter smuggled from the Temple in 1792, when she was briefly confined along with Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and others

I have read to the bravest of friends your letter, my dear little one, and she bids me assure you of her friendship. We think of you. Send me, I beg you, a chemise; for two days I have not undressed. I embrace you with all of my heart.
