XIX. Marlborough au Grand-Pensionnaire

May 13: 1706.

Sir,

TI receiv’d this day the inclos’d letter from the King of Prussia (+), as also my Lord Rabys letier, by which you will see the temper that King is in. If you intend to make use of his troupes, I shou’d think you shou’d lose no time in agreeing to what may be reasonable. TI forgot to let you see Pr. of Baden letter (() to me; I have sent a copie of it to Mons. Slingelandt (**), so that you may have it of him, as also what I write to him self, which will shorten this letter.

Ï am with truth,

Sir , Your most obedient humble servant, Marlborough.
