NO  - Annotated on the top of the first page of the letter (a manuscript part at the end of item 15, p. 649) : "On rapporte la Requeste qui suit pour faire voir le traitement qu’on faisait aux pères et aux mères pour leur avoir enlevé leurs enfants et les avoir arracher à leurs maisons."
NO  - Summary of the text: This letter addressed to the King speaks of a case of kidnapping of Protestant children. Parents are even asked to pay a sum for the education of their children in a Jesuit abbey. The son is convinced to convert or he and his father will be hanged. Legal procedures are initiated by the father but this leads to nothing, hence this petition to the attention of the King.
