Abstract: [fre] Résumé Apostrophe initiale et formule de politesse finale composent l'appareil courtois de la lettre-missive. La correspondance du Condé de la Fronde et de l'exil montre que loin de constituer un invariant, il exprime, en établissant un dialogue, la position respective des correspondants et varie avec elle. Il fait donc partie intégrante de la lettre au même titre que le corps du texte dont il précise la signification. L'identification du code permet d'identifier ses détériorations, soit voulues à des fins de propagande ou pour consolider des réseaux de clientèle, soit imposées par des revers. [eng] Abstract Letters being a substitute for conversation, their formal ending belongs to a code that characterizes social relationships. The present paper checks this hypothesis with letters written by the Great Condé during the Fronde and his subsequent exile. Once identified the code and its perception, one can trace its alterations according to events. Letters are used for propanda purposes ; some are printed, others help to build clienteles. One must not discard contradictions between the text of the letter and its solemnia : the latter not only is a way of dating the letter but gives clues to better understand it.
