Fire scares Dutch rulers as fire breaks at the Hague
A letter from a son in service to the Prince and Princess of Orange reports a house fire caused by a beam in the chimney. The blaze, quickly controlled, caused little damage and left the Highnesses in good health. The missive also notes marriages, deaths, and assorted European political rumors, including Polish and Neapolitan affairs, and plans for Don Carlos in Italy.
