Description

Part 1, Folios 65-66. Letter dated at Brussels from the Marquis de Garetto y Grana to the Prince of Orange. Acknowledging the receipt of his sentiments. Is well aware of his difficulties. The King of England assures us that this army has nothing to fear. It appears that the business was not badly conceived or executed by Ronquillo. Can one believe that this plot was a put up job (d la main) like the preceding one in which the poor Catholics suffered so terribly? PS: I have since heard that in the rear guard action of the 7th the Prince of Arenberg, my brother-in-law, was killed fighting like a gallant man. I loved him as my son. Very illegible.
