| Fe. 28% 1706.

Sir ,

The reason of my not having troubled you these last two or three postes, has been oceasion’d by my having been in the country. The gentleman that is gone upon his own privat business for Fränce (*), will most certainly have offers made to him, and if you find thay are such as may be fit to be commumicatt’d to Her Ma, you will be pleas’ d' to lett mee have üitt before I leave this place, which I hope may be about a fortnight hénce. — În the mean time I shall send the next weeke Brigadier Cadogan, who will informe you of all my thoughts for the next campagne. — I should be glad to hear, that you had taken the resolution of giving armor io your horse in the same maner the Queen has done to the English horse; for I think if we can be so happy as to have success this sammer, it might be the last campagne of this warr. — Ï am with truth , |

Sir p!

Your most obedient humble servant, Marlborough. *
