When the Duke and Dutchess of Cumberland arrived, on the 5th
ult. at Strasburgh, Marshal de Contades being indisposed,
the Baron de Wurmser, Inspector General of the foreign
troops, was charged to do all the honours, and order all
amusements which they were willing to accept. The next day
his Royal Highness was on the parade, and in the evening
with his Dutchess at the Comedy, ordered on purpose to
entertain them; after which they supped with the Baron, who
had invited the principal persons in the place to be
present. . . [2 lines] and in the evening they were again at
the Comedy, and afterwards accepted of the invitation of the
Sieur Blair to sup with him. . . [15 more lines describing
events during their visit.]
