Combe Florey, July 31st, 1844.
Dear Van de Weyer,

Have not some letters been published in modern times, containing the remonstrances of Alva to Philip, and of Philip to Alva, against the cruelties practised by the Spaniards in the Low Countries, and recommending milder measures? and if so, pray tell me in what book such letters are to be found. Have you seen a History of Holland, in three volumes, by a Mrs. Davis, published by Walton, Strand; or heard any character of it?

How do you do, and all the family? Will you come to the West,—I mean to Combe Florey,—in the month of August? and what day? Will you believe me (as you safely may) yours sincerely?

Sydney Smith.
