LETTER LIX. To the King.
'TIS impossible for me to tarry any longer without manifesting to Your Majesty, my joy for the news which the Sieur de Raire has brought, concerning what has happen'd at Cazal. For tho' it be not confirm'd by any Courrier with particular Dispatches, if it be true, as he assures me, that he was present at the Action, there is no reason to question it. Which being granted, I can∣not but give God thanks for it with all my heart, as being one of the most glorious, that your Majesty could desire for your own, and the Reputation of your Armes, and which heaps both Gladness and Contentment upon all your most zealous Servants. Among whom I can assure your Majesty, that there is not any one who more fer∣vently desires the Continuance of your successful Pro∣gresses, then he who is and ever will be, &c.
