Title: MARGUERITE DE PALLANT, Baroness de Merode, to LORD WILLOUGHBY.
Description:

--Complains that the evening before, about five o'clock, Col. Thomas Morgan had, without her knowledge and against her will, enticed away from her house her two daughters, Anna and Ottilia, and carried them away from Dordrecht, keeping them still where he chooses, to her great sorrow, and the insufferable wronging of her husband, herself, and their family. As his Lordship is governor of the English forces, and, as such, has authority over Col. Morgan, she prays him to give orders that her daughters may be returned to her safe and sound, and in a manner befitting their rank ; and that reparation may be offered by the said Colonel for the wrong done her, to which end she intends also to apply to the States General and Council of State.
