LE TELLIER, Père Michel (1643-1719, Jesuit confessor to Louis XIV). Autograph letter signed to an unidentified cardinal ('Vostre Eminence'), Paris, 4 August 1710, 2 pages, 4to; and a letter signed, with an autograph postscript, to the Marquis d'Argenson, Paris, 15 July 1711, one page, 4to; LANCELOT, Claude (1615-1695). Autograph letter to Mademoiselle de Vertus, Grenoble, 31 August n.y., 2 ½ pages, 8vo, address panel.
Le Tellier explains to the cardinal that pressing business obliges him to spend the next day at work at Mont Louis, and he must forego the occasion arranged by the Duc de Noailles; the letter to d'Argenson encloses two declarations (not present) by 'le Sieur Révérend', casting doubt on the latter's good faith. Lancelot, the Jansenist preacher, writes of his travels in France, visiting numerous places of religion. His correspondent Catherine de Vertus was among the most important benefactrices of Port Royal; her piety and generosity were commemorated in an epitaph by Racine.
Le Tellier, who translated the New Testament into French, detested the Jansenists and eventually secured the destruction of Port Royal, in which he was supported by the marquis d'Argenson who, as Lieutenant General of Police in Paris, expelled the nuns from the community in 1709.
