Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 132-133. Unsigned or addressed letter, dated at Ath at six in the morning. Reports that the enemy is crossing l'Escaut [Scheldt] since dawn over five bridges and heading to Renaix [Ronse] and the surrounds to be at Lessines tomorrow. Four days' worth of bread has been distributed to the army. There is no talk of baking it at Tournai but at Mons, leading one to believe that they will march on the side of Halle.
