le aseguro no ha bastado casi la gente que tengo en la Secretaria para
repartir copias dello, pues le he enbiado a todo el lugar, y la primera

[Footnote 717: See two letters annexed to the Memoirs of the Intendant
Foucault, and printed in the work of M. de Sirtema des Grovestins in the
archives of the War Office at Paris is a letter written from Brest
by the Count of Bouridal on July 11/21 1690. The Count says: "Par la

English were impatiently expecting him. "Ce pauvre prince croit que ses
sujets l'aiment encore."]
