" I hardly believe Harley will open himself en-
tirely.
" I found the Queen in good health last Thursday,
and Madame de Maintenon, who happened to be that
same day at Chaillot, gave her the same advice as I
did about her coming to St. Germain's, and she
seemed to resolve to come back hence after our
Lady's feast of November ; I believe a word of your
Majesty's upon that subject will determine the Queen
to make a longer stay in this town, which will cer-
tainly be the better for her health than the cold
cloysters of Chaillot*, besides that, it will be the
better for your Majesty's interest and for the comfort
of your subjects here.
" The Duchess of Berwick, her brother, and my
son are most sensible at the honour your Majesty
has been pleased to give them in remembering them
in y r letter to me.
