Description

Folios 225-227. Letter from R [Robert] Yard to Sir Joseph Williamson. 'The news of the Duke of Savoy having made a peace with the French is confirmed; tis true he is to have 40 days to communicate the French proposals to the allies, but this is looked upon to be done only in some measure to save his credit, hoping in this time a general peace may be made, but if it be not, there is little reason to believe but his particular agreement is to stand good'. He encloses an extract from a newsletter giving news from the King's camp at Gemblours mentioning the Landgrave of Hesse, President de la Tour and the Duke of Savoy. Other news includes the arrangement of Sir John Fenwick and the death of the Marquis of Powis.
