Fontainebleau, October 6, 1678.
I have received, Sir, this week, your letter of the 17th, together with the two others from M. Matthioli, which were joined to it; but I cannot reply to them till the next post, not having as yet had an opportunity of rendering an account ofthem to the King. We shall wait for the arrival of the aforesaid Sieur Matthioli, to know what propositions he intends to make.
I am, &c.Pomponne.214
