XLIX. Mariborough au Grand-Pensionnaire

Helchin, Jully 29t* 1706.

Ï had this afternoon the favour of yours of the 27%: the two enclos’d letters of the 9 and 10th of this month, are so extravagant, that had thay been first propos’ d to me, Î shou’d not have charo’d myself with them. In my opinion we can't without hurting the common cause do any thing with him, but as [ propos’ d in mine ofthe 19%. I have this night write to Mons. Renswoude (*), and am very desirous of speaking with him. The other part of your letter, you may be sure, shall be keep a secrit ; and when you have a safe oportunity of explaining that matter to me, E shou’d if you please, be glad to know by what hands it is manag’d; for if it be by the same man that these two letters are given to Mons. Renswoude, you know that he is not io be relied upon, and that he was disown’d last year. — My L£ Trea (+) desires you wou’d let me know if he may not recal the mony at Geneve, in order to employe it, where it may be of use. — Ï am with truth,

SIT , Your most obedient humble servant ,

Marlborough.
