Description

Folios 185-186. Ferdinand William, Duke of Wurtemburg, to the King, dated at Ninove. Since his last nothing considerable has passed. From the English hospital it is said there are 500 soldiers in a fit state to return to the army, but, as a relapse is feared, which is very common, everyone is to go to his quarters. Mr Talmash being taken ill has gone to Ghent, but Lieutenant-General Tettau has recovered. Refers to the suggested attacking and burning of Huy whilst the enemy are engaged with Charleroi, to prevent them from putting a large corps there during winter, but the Bishop would not allow it, and they await orders from the King. As to the quarters at Liège, the charter house and citadel are to be used for that purpose. Colonel Braw wishes to have his battalion increased, and the six Danish battalions also wish for an increase, as they lost some of their number in going to England the number would be replaced by virtue of the Treaty.
