Fine Document in Italian with translation signed ‘Maria Carolina’ to Archduchess Amalia
saying that “Since we cannot receive the Royal Child, whom we expect to be born happily, from the sacred Fountain of Regeneration, since we are unable to receive him in our absence, we therefore trust that the Most Serene Royal Princess Archduchess of Austria Maria Amalia will give herself this task without any difficulty, and we decree and appoint our Prosecutor to this present one, so that she may take our place, and in our name lift and hold the newborn Royal Child to the Sacred Fountain of Baptism, and may promise and perform all those things which are to be promised and performed, so that the institutions and rites of the Holy Roman Catholic Church may be satisfied. Which indeed we promise to hold to be ratified, valid and firm, as if We ourselves had intervened beforehand, and all things had been expedited and carried out by Us...”, 1 side folio with seal, together with a separate cove addressed to Archduchess Amalia, Naples, December
