A year into his reign, Frederick writes to “Madame, my sister.” In full (translated): “The interest your Imperial Majesty takes in my house lets me hope she will welcome the birth of a little girl that Princess Paul gave me today. Her name will be Frederique Charlotte Marie. I recommend her, along with the rest of my house, to the continuation of the friendship and kindnesses of your Imperial Majesty. The Queen [Maria Amalia] and my daughter, Princess Catherine, request me to remind them of her memory, and it is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to express to your Majesty all the feelings I hold for her. I pray God keep you, Madame, my sister, in his holy and worthy guard. From your Imperial Majesty.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold and a few very subtle traces of soiling. RRAuction COA.
