Description

Folio 150. A letter from the Prince of Waldeck to the King. Encloses what he has received from M de Mean and what he intends to respond. He is unsure if the troops will dare to leave Namur if the allied troops are not near Maastricht to cover them around the Meuse, since Bouffleur will have parties cross by the quays, being between the allies and the town on the other side of the Meuse. The allies would need to pass below to join the garrison, which he fears they will not do. His health/doctor prevents him from discharging his duties in person.
