Spanish General Officer Letter Excerpt Warns of British Change
The text presents a translated letter from a Spanish general detailing plans for a large expedition to sail from Barcelona, with troops gathered in Catalonia and Majorca, the Infant Don Philip arriving at Valencia and then Barcelona, and a fleet under joint English and Spanish command. It notes 20 000 men forming an army, orders from the court, and the expected impact on Europe by late August.
