The Duke of Ormonde reports that he was very zealous in the service of the Allies & behove himself in several places with great distinction & had a great character from the late Prince D'Armstadt [Prince George of Hesse Darmstadt], that she is left in a mean condition and is an object of your Majesty's favour.
