Dune of Ormond to the Pretender and Spanish designs rise
The lettered items describe Ormond's appeal to the Pretender and Madrid's reply promising a sizable sum, with Acquaviva's report of Spanish remittances and favor toward the Princess des Vilins, plus privateers in Biscay and fortifications at La Groyne. Reports from Madrid and Lisbon note naval plans, a French dragoon encounter, and anxious coastal defense concerns at Milford Haven and Portsmouth.
