Description

Part 2, Folios 112-113. Letter from Colonel Belasyse to the Prince of Orange.' I have presumed (by this worthy bearer) to give your Highness the assurance of my devotion to your service; in particular, the testimony I have given to the World of my loyalty and sufferings for the Crown obliges me in duty to pay the same to those who are so nearly related to it as the Princess Royal and your Highness, though my hand is so weak to express it or enlarge myself upon this subject my heart shall supply that defect in the profession I make, with all submission, of being Your Highness' most obedient and most humbly devoted servant'.
