More than a summary:

Formerly I mentioned already, what a pleasure it is reading the letters of Liselotte of the Pfalz (besides what wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Charlotte_of_the_Palatinate) says, she is a great woman and I love her dearly), unfortunate wife of the duke of Orléans and sister-in-law of Ludwig XIV. She was born at May 27th 1652 in Heidelberg, a good reason to offer few quotations and since German slightly changed since those times I present a „translation“ with italic letters (in the original post).

About an indisposition

“This is the whole report of my illness. In the future I want to take myself better in care and not eat that much.”

About the Maintenon

„The woman, from which they speak, like Your Highness say, who was pregnant with a fart, by your leave, by your leave, not very amuses me, on the contrary, I believe that not a worse devil in the world can be found than them, with their false piety and hypocrisy, I think that she make the old German proverb probably true: ”Where the devil cannot come, there he sends an old woman. ““.

„The Dauphine [Maria Anna von Bayern, 1680 married with the Dauphin Louis] is unfortunate and whether she already does her best, the king to please, she is daily very badly treated nevertheless from causing the woman and must waste their life with boredom and birthing.“

About the newest hair mode

“However this is also something pass with silence, therefore let’s talk about the hair-styles. I am insured that, if Y.H. should see, with which trouble and concern the women make themselves straight horrible Y.H. would laugh from the heart; I for my part cannot accustom me to these masquerades at all, but each day they raises one them more highly; I believe one day they will finally force to make the doors higher because otherwise nobody of them could any more come in and go out.“

And finally

„Beauty disappears, even a beautiful face, only a good mind resists.“

Your translation is far better as the one of Babelfish. Keep the good work, Sir, yours Pilgrim

Thank you, I appreciate that a lot.
