Part 1, Folios 102-103. Letter dated at London from the Duke of York to the Prince of Orange. He is very glad to find the treaty has been signed, 'but there are some things that are wanting in it and others which will require being explained' as the Prince 'will know more at large from Sir William Temple' to which the Duke is sure the Prince will give his 'helping hand that they may be agreed to'. In the meantime 2,000 horse and dragoons are being sent over as fast as possible but they cannot be expected 'till after the term prefixed be expired, we having not those conveniences here that you have where you are for embarking of horses, and till the war be declared we cannot let you have any of our foot to join your army, which cannot be till those points you will hear of, be agreed to, in the meantime no time shall be lost in preparing every thing to carry on the war with vigour, which is all I have time to say to you now, only to assure you that I shall ever be very kind to you'.
