No. 99 Louvois to Saint-Mars
St. Germain, July 25, 1679.
I have received your letter of the 2d of this month. I wrote by yesterday’s post to M. de Rissan,299 that it is the King’s intention that he should have the gate of the citadel of Pignerol opened, whenever you shall have occasion for it.
You may give paper and ink to the Sieur de Lestang, with the understanding that he is to put into writing whatever he wishes to say; which you will send to me, and I will let you know whether it deserves any consideration.
De Louvois.300
Notes
299 M. de la Motte de Rissan held the post of “Lieutenant de Roi,” in the citadel of Pignerol.
