LETTER XCV. To the same.
My Lord,
THE King having by my former Letters, to which I have receiv'd your Answer, given you to understand his Intentions, nothing now remains for me to say to you: 'Tis your concern to fortifie and keep your Post at Maubeuge, as you have proposed, and to attack Avenes, while the Mareschal de Chastillon makes account to go to attack Mommedy, or some other place.
You will receive the hundred thousand Franks which you demand for your Works, besides the ten thousand Crowns which you design to employ at Maubeuge. No di∣ligence shall be wanting on our side to assist you; and pray give me leave as your hearty Friend and Servant, to beg of you that nothing be wanting on yours. I confess I was astonish'd when I found that your Fortifications at Mau∣beuge were not begun, and that Beaumont and Solre were not as yet taken. This is all we have to represent to you from these parts, it belongs to you to do all that lies in your power. My Cosen de la Meilleraye, and the Con∣clusion of this Letter, will assure you of my Affection, and that I shall always be,
My Lord,
Your, &c.
Royaumont, Aug. 20, 1637.
