Catalogue description G. DE PRUNINCQ to LORD WILLOUGHBY.

--I thank your Lordship humbly for sending Mr. Allen, who has acquitted himself with honour and discretion but has not been able to bring matters to a head, for reasons which he himself will give you. I implore you to take this town on your way to England, and to remove us hence with yourself. They would not dare to refuse your Lordship, the rather if Count Maurice wrote a word in our favour, and it would be a great service to her Majesty, as her honour is much concerned in the matter.

Your Lordship has had the honour of settling the disputes at Medenblicq, Gertrudenberghe and Nerden. If you now arrange this last dissension remaining in his Excellency's government, you will gain for yourself immortal renown.
