Description: | 1587, August [6-] 16. Lillo.
I have received your letter informing me of the designs of the enemy upon this fort. As however they can for the present do nothing on account of the full moon, I shall not need to accept your kind offer of assistance, especially as I have just been reinforced with a strong company and am kept informed by my friends in Antwerp of the designs of the enemy. The artilleryman (canonier) whom you mention, has been sent to Walcheren. My friends in Antwerp tell me that the enemy intend to attack Bergen-op-Zoom; in any case their infantry are moving towards Maestricht.
