Abstract

["Missive from London, May 24, 1701."] 1) King William III responds to a Parliamentary resolution. He thanks the Parliament for their support and pledges to support freedom (religious?) in Germany. Parliament then voted unanimously to send 5,000 Irish troops to Holland. The English public, including merchants, supported going to war as "more useful than the current peace". The largest fleet was in Spithead with 20 ships; it was ordered for them to set sail within 24 hours. 2) The House of Lords responded to the King in Kensington: they agreed to join the States General (Dutch Parliament) in an alliance. They further ask the King to join in an alliance with the (German) Kaiser as per the 1689 treaty. ; Florida Atlantic University Libraries' Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection, Pamphlets: Foreign Language B2F10 ; Florida Atlantic University Digital Library
