Even those documents which are as a rule most trustworthy, namely autograph letters, are here unreliable. As has been more than once pointed out in the foregoing pages, Marie Antoinette, being of an impatient disposition, was a careless letter writer." -- Page 593. Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul.
