Copy of a letter from d'Avaux [Jean-Antoine de Mesmes, called d'Avaux (1640-1709)?] to the [French King?] reporting on the progress of negotiations including that: Heinsius and Dijkveldt are reported to have declared to Allied Ministers that they had finally obtained from Callieres [François de Callières, special envoy of France] a precise declaration on the restitution of Strasbourg and Luxembourg without any restrictions; the Swedish King is upset by the apparently more favourable conditions granted to the Prince of Orange and the States General; he questions the good faith of Lilienrodt [Niels, Baron of Lilliënrot, Swedish diplomat] in his communications to the King of Sweden referring to (among other things) to the French King's position on the restitution of Luxembourg and Strasbourg.
