Account of the European conflict letter from Diekt to the States
A dated letter from Diekt to the States General recounts a July engagement near Neer-Helpen where Luxemberg's advance prompted a Dutch army sortie. French forces attacked the right wing while the Dutch repelled assaults along the left and center, sustaining casualties including Count Sadies. The battle shifted as the main body pressed forward, with nightfall bringing the expectation of a retreat.
