Description

Folio 84. Letter dated at Whitehall from the King to the Prince of Orange. The posts have been delayed by the uncertainty of the winds; the weather is fair with little sun; the letters from France mention the surrender of Alba Regalis [Hungary] on the same terms as Agria [Eger, Hungary] which the King hopes is true as then in all likelihood Zigeth [Sziget, Hungary] and Canissa [Nagykanizsa, Hungary].
