Note 22 — MARLBOROUGH. No. II.[1]
Reading edition
"I have now received confirmation of the success in Italy, from the Duke of Savoy and Prince Eugene, and it is impossible for me to express the joy it has given me; for I not only esteem, but really love, that Prince. This glorious action must bring France so low, that if our friends can be persuaded to carry on the war one year longer with vigour, we could not fail, with God's blessing, to have such a peace as would give us quiet in our days. But the Dutch are at this time unaccountable."—Marlborough to the Duchess, Sept. 26, 1706. Coxe, III. 20, 21.
