The Diamond Necklace Affair

August 15th 1785-
A couple days ago I found out that some terrible things have been going on behind my back. Louis René Édouard de Rohan bought this diamond necklace, that Charles Bohmer had me try on a couple days ago, and said it was for me. But I did not want this necklace and it was not ever given to me. We have now come to find out that he was told to do this by the Countess de Lamotte.  He also says that I met him, forgave him, and gave him a rose. This I have never done. I am sure that the Countess is behind this and this is why I have asked for them to be arrested and put on trial.
