Maria de Hungria al Duque de Saboya

Béthume,

Some English gentlemen who recently paid their respects to the Emperor and me at St. Omer, namely Francis and Henry Browne, brothers of the King of England's Master of the Horse,(Anthony Browne, Lord Montague) and Ambrose Digby, a gentleman of the King's household, are now returning to his Majesty's camp to enter his service. I am therefore writing you a word of recommendation for them, and pray you to see that they are favourably treated as befits their quality. They have said nothing to me about the salary they wish to have, but if they speak to you on the subject, I beg you to let me know and mention your own views as to what would be suitable. If they do not mention it you need not do so either, but merely show them all the favour they merit.
