Reference: 8ANC5/73
Title: Sir John Wingfield to the Countess of Bueren.
Description:

Acknowledges her letter, and begs her to understand that the burghers and Magistrates of Gertrudenberge have promised him (as her maistre d' Hotel, M. Bernoulle, knows well) so much furniture as he now has of hers, but have not yet sent it, wherefore he prays her to leave hers for awhile longer, as he is expecting several gentlemen to come to him for Christmas. As to her threats, he cares nothing for them, and is returning the furniture not from fear but from friendship, thinking that the favour he has shown to her peasants in the land of Breda merits the same at her hands.
