LS in French, signed “Turenne,” one page, 6 x 7.5, September 22, 1648. In full (translated): "Le Sieur de L'Espine, a captain in my infantry regiment has asked me for leave to make a trip up to Spire for personal reasons. So as to insure the safety of his trip, desiring a passport from you and from M. Enkewer, I thought that in asking you for it, as I so humbly am doing, you would not refuse to transmit a passport for him and for his personal servants to go to Spire to see to personal matters and then to meet the army, which thence will be able to proceed if necessary." Matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 15 x 12; the backing bears an affixed Goodspeed's Book Shop label. In fine condition.
