Peace and War Mandate from Stanhope Letter to Hasfeldt
A historical letter from Major General Stanhope to the Chevalier d Hasfeldt discusses the capitulation of St Philip’s Castle and reprisals against garrisons, demanding return of English Dutch forces to Catalonia. It is followed by a published Arch Bishop of Cambray mandate urging peace and moral reflection on war, cautioning about luxury, vice, and divine use of war to fulfill decrees.
