Folio 220: Postscript to SP 90/8 f.216. Overtures made by Ilgen on the propositions of Tolstoy, who pressed that the King of Prussia be comprised in the present alliance, indicating that the Czar was prepared to make many concessions, including refraining from further communication with Spain or the Pretender.

Tolstoy gives the Prussians a copy of treaty made in Vienna, communicated by King George to the Czar. Ilgen's account to Whitworth of his dealings with Tolstoy.
