Hello to all and everyone else.

Now I know that two of the original documents have long since vanished from the planet. One dissapperarance due to that twit Cardinal de Richelieu . Yes, he is up there with that other well know ninny de Guise. Does my bias show, I wonder ?

Anywho.. I am told that there is at least one original still in existance and so where better to ask of it than right here in this most wonderful of all places HWE.

My information is that there is an original in the university library in Geneve. It seems that it is not exactly as the two destroyed originals were, as it has some additions regarding just what happens to some of the towns under the control of the Huguenots.

Before I go rushing off to Switzerland, I am curious to know if anyone has actually viewed this document in Geneve ? And if so, does the Librarian allow copies / photographs to be made ?

Kind Regards,
Peter Leroy
