Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 124: John Methuen to Sir Charles Hedges. Replies at length to his private letter of April 9 (see f.121), and explains why the operations on the frontier are proceeding so slowly and badly. Many of the ministers still pro-French, and Portuguese are very short of money. Many of the English troops were sick when they arrived and then were encamped in a very unhealthy site. Adequate remounts unavailable. Inefficiency of the Duke of Schomberg, about whom King Pedro complains bitterly and Schomberg is equally bitter in his complaints against the Portuguese.
Date and place: 1704 June 10, NS PS of June 13, Lisbon.
