Catalogue description LORD WILLOUGHBY to JEHAN HOUFFLIN, licentiate of law, formerly Counsellor of Tournay.

--Instructions concerning matters to be laid before the Council of State:-

To show them the need of more men at Bergen, and that 500 English horse having been sent to Col. Shenk, a thousand men of the country at least should be provided, especially as (owing to intelligence that the Spanish fleet means to return) there is no hope of having again the troops now in England.

To suggest that an act of authorization be sent for his Lordship to command all men there indifferently.

To ask for speedy supplies of victuals, munition, artillery; vinegar, oil, eggs &c. for the sick and wounded; and oats, hay and forage for the horses.
