LETTER CXXXV. To the Duke of Montmorency.

I Was very glad to understand by your Letter, how much the Gentlemen of Nismes were devoted to the King's Service. I fairly promis'd my self, that so soon as they return'd to their Obedience, they would be more zealous for his Service then ever, as now they make it evi∣dent. I know not whether His Majesty's Affairs will per∣mit him to go to their City: But I can assure you of one thing, that whether he go or not go, his Intention is, not to make any Innovation to the prejudice of what he has granted them. He assures himself of a punctual Observa∣tion of what they have promis'd: And I engage you my Honour, that their Privileges shall be carefully preserv'd 'em; and that if there be any who have any Apprehen∣sion of a Garison, they have no Grounds for it; giving you my Faith, and my Word, that it was a thing never so much as thought of, nor likely to be thought of here∣after. You will oblige me to assure 'em of my Affe∣ction; and to believe your self, that I am, and will be ever, &c.
