It must be that you didn't want to take the trouble to look for them, and yet it's important to us. I therefore beg you to look for them more carefully, and we will pay you for your trouble." + Engraving of his portrait: "Frédéric Armand de SCHOMBERG Maréchal de France, mort le 10 juillet 1690." - G.
