Summary
Reporting on the position of the Duke of York; saying "His Royal Highness took up a position near this place yesterday his right towards Breda & his left at a rivulet called the Dongen. - And here we shall probably remain either till the Austrians have recovered their senses, or till ye Enemy should make it necessary for us to move to ye right hand or to ye left. The Dutch appear to be nearly as active as they were in March 1793 when we were put up to feed in the Stadtholder's [illegible], and you well remember ye exertions which they then made at ye Kupfern Land;" sending his regards to Lady Bath.
