Peace and fidelity urged to stop French-Spanish hostilities
In a 1719 Paris letter Levis urges his cousin the Duke of Berwick to seek peace rather than conquest. He denounces Spanish ministerial insinuations and warns the French not to revolt, calling for valiant defense of peace and mutual fidelity between Spain and France under royal pledges. The message stresses the danger of a foreign yoke and the need for a united effort toward a just settlement.
