Copy of a Letter (translated) from
the Spanish Resident in France
in 1745.

Mon Maitre,
When I received the Order
of my Court on the Subject of the Inter-
est
of your R.Royal H.Highness I did not lose a Mo-
ment
to go &and act with this Court.
His most Christian Majesty did not hesi-
tate
to promise a prompt Succour of Men,
Money &and Arms, &and he ordered that all
should be ready. I immediately dispatch-
ed
a Courier to the King my Master,
to inform him of this Resolution, &and I
can assure your R.Royal H.Highness that his Catholic
Majesty
has entirely conformed himself
to the Disposition of the most Christian
King his Nephew
, &and that he will fur-
nish
a Succour altogether equal to ytthat.
of this Court.
But this is not all; for the Most Chri-
stian
King
added, that how soon he
should learn, that the Dispositions of
your people were fortified by your pre-
sence
, &and that they had taken their Re-
solutions
, he would augment these Suc-
cours
, by making some more Troops to
pass to whatever place should be thought
convenient for sustaining them; &and I have
Reason to believe the Brigade of Ireland
is appointed for this. The King my 1763 (1763)
Master will furnish the same Number
of Troops with his Most Christian Maty.Majesty
I have the Honour to inform your R.Royal
H.Highness
of this Disposition with a Satisfac-
tion
of Heart so very lively, that nothing
can add to it but the Wishes I have
to the happy Success of so just an En-
terprize
enterprise
.
I pray your R.Royal H.Highness to receive this
Assurance, &and also that of the most pro-
found
Respect, with which I have the
Honour to be,
Mon Maitre,
Your Royal Highness’s most
humble &and most ObtObedient ServtServant,
Sic SubrSubscributor Le Prince de Campo Florido.
P. S. We wait here with the utmost
Impatience the News of your R.Royal H.Highness'
Debarquement.
