I will write you a faithful account of all that happens to me; you shall know how I am received and the progress of all my affairs. If they will be willing to decree us an augmented allowance, I will beg my husband to permit me to leave Dresden and settle in some foreign country contiguous to Saxony, that I may readily hold communication with him. Do not mention my project to any one, for if it were known in Saxony, _my whole enterprise would be ruined. Adieu, most tenderly loved sister_. Do not forget me. Farewell, the multiplicity of my occupations will not permit me to write at greater length. _Apropos, I beg you_ to go now and see the princess palatiness; you will find her with the Bishop of Kamieniec, and Kulagowski; _she will be very grateful for this attention from you; it must be agreeable to her_; you will brighten a little the gravity of this trio. _Adieu, I embrace you with all my heart, and am, as ever, your most affectionate and attached sister,_ FRANCES. _A thousand tender and friendly messages to your husband; I conjure him always to retain a place for me in his memory._ In 1776 the Polish diet assigned large pensions to all the heirs of Augustus III.; the half of that bestowed upon Prince Charles was revertible during her lifetime to his wife, the princess royal, Frances Krasinska. During her sojourn in Dresden, she gave birth to a daughter, the Princess Mary; she educated her with the greatest care, but was soon forced to leave her; her many sorrows developed an insidious malady, which finally proved fatal. She died on the 30th of April, 1796, aged fifty-three. Madame Moszynska, who had shown herself a friend to Frances in her prosperity, and, what is still more rare, also in adversity, was grievously afflicted by her death. It was she who announced it to Madame Angelica Szymanowska, born Swidzinska, whom Frances had held at the baptismal font with the prince royal in the cathedral church at Warsaw, in 1760. DRESDEN, _June 8th, 1796._ I comply with your request, madame, but with extreme grief; the loss you have sustained is a most cruel one to me; indeed it is the deepest affliction I have ever known. The princess royal's malady began about two years ago. She then felt pains in her breast; some physicians said her disease was cancer, while others assured her it was tumor.
