Baron de Berlepsch [to Marlborough]: his secret meeting with Sieur Reichart has taken place, and resulted in the enclosed list [SP 87/2/42] of demands by the elector of Bavaria. Reichart showed him a letter from Tallard to the elector: Tallard's army was 35,000 strong, and he had promised the elector assistance with money, provisions and munitions. [Reichart said that] the duke of Savoy was ready to treat with France. Reversals for the allies in Spain, Italy and Hungary. Prince Louis of Baden had made approaches to the elector through a third party, and Prince Eugene was authorized to do so. [Berlepsch] is returning to Berlin, and from thence to Vienna, after which he hopes to visit Marlborough. Dated at Nuremberg. On dorse, copy of a letter [to Berlepsch] at camp at Ober Aching: he welcomes him and requests him to remain hidden. He has found a pretext to meet him in four or five days. ff. 75-78 |
