Description

Folios 155-156. Maximilian Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, to the King, dated at Aigem. He has received a letter written by Bergeyck yesterday from Ghent, warning him that there are not enough boats to transport the artillery and thus they cannot embark the infantry. He is marching with everything as far as Gaure and camping by the Esco [Escaut or Scheldt rivers?] per the King's orders brought to him by Acuna. He will await further orders there. Report that La Vallete is at Ypres with 10,000 men. Begs the King to order bread wagons for the troops there. The Count d'Egmont died the day before at midnight and if the Duke of Holstein claims the charge he does not think he can refuse him, though he defers to what the King thinks best.
