Description

Folio 91. [Robert] Yard reporting to Sir Joseph Williamson [Nine Years' War]. The Dutch post came in with letters from the King's camp at Genappe: the French army lies on both sides of the Sambre [Belgium] about La Bussiere, on one side and Haine St Pierre and Haine St Paul on the other; but they design to go and encamp at Cambon near Ath. On the 29 [Colonel] Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie and Coll [Colonel] [?Richard] O'Farrell were sent back from Mons without ransom, having been civilly used by the Governor during their stay there. The same day a French party coming very near the camp were discovered and pursued by some of the men, who cut most of them off and took some few prisoners. The Prince of Vaudemont [Charles Henri, Prince de Commercy] feeling very ill has gone to Aix for the recovery of his health. The French King has gone to Versailles.
