Abstract: Abstract ‘This is my plan for you, my Lord, and you never had a better opportunity for executing it … Your Lordship should come over in the beginning of April, spend some weeks with us at The Hague till the end of May, then some weeks at one of my seats in this province from whence we make all our acquaintance to see the country … Towards the end of the year we may spend some time in Amsterdam, return to The Hague and from thence I give you my word of honour that I and my wife will accompany you to England to make a considerable stay there.’1
