= Consists of one letter of condolence, dated 8 November 1768, to the mother of Alexander Sweder van Spaen, who had died at the beginning of November 1768 and 5 letters to Alexander Sweder van Spaen.

After the death of the Princess Royal Anne in 1759 he became the guardian of the future stadholder Willem V. In the first letter to Alexander van Spaen, dated 12 April 1757, Brunswijk reassures Van Spaen that he is above any suspicion: "Madame la Princesse Gouvernante [Princess Royal Anne] (...) m'a ordonné en particulier sur votre dernière lettre de vous dire, Monsieur, que vous pouvez être entierement tranquile sur les apprehensions qu'on vous avoit donné, comme si S.A.R. auroit trouvé mauvais que vous vous etiés laissé employer comme deputés de la part des Etats, et elle m'a chargé expressement de vous assurer que personne n'avoit voulu vous rendre aucun mauvais service aupres d'elle à ce sujet, et que si cela seroit arrivé aussi que cela n'auroit fait aucune impression sur elle, et elle souhaite que vous continuiéz, Monsieur, à me donner de vos nouvelles comme vous l'avez fait jusqu'ici, que je Lui remets fidelement." In the final letter Brunswijk refers to the battle of Mynden, in which the allied forces (led by Lodewijk van Brunswijk's brother Ferdinand von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel), defeated the French: "Cet evénement est bien glorieux, la main de Dieu s'y est manifesté visiblement. Je ne vous entretiendrai point, Monsieur, des détails de cette grande journée, la tems ne me permet pas, tout ce que je puis vous dire, c'est, que la retraite à beaucoup de raport à celle de [Retsbach[?]]; pendant que mon frère battoit le Marechal de Contades et Mr de Broglio, mon neveu battoit le Duc de Brissac et lui enleva 6. pieces de canons, le jour de la bataille on a fait beaucoup de prisonniers à la grande Armée, 31. pieces de canons, nombres d'etendarts, de timbales et de drapeaux sont tombés entre les mains du vainceur, et mon frere à pris son quartier general à Minden le lendemain, et on serre[?] Messrs les francois de pres. La liberation à Berlin n'est pas si riante (...)".

78 2494 Paper cuttings Loef S van der early 18th cent 
- Sl. soiled and unevenly browned.
= Joanna Koerten (1650-1715) was a famous Dutch paper cutting artist. Wikipedia: "Aan de Nieuwendijk bevond zich het kabinet van Koerten, dat was een ruimte waar haar knipkunst aan de muur hing. Bezoekers schreven in het zogenaamde stamboek (of Album amicorum) van Koerten. Het was een soort bezoekers- en vriendenboek met handtekeningen, maar op den duur werden er ook tekeningen, kalligrafie, en gedichten toegevoegd. In de gedichten werden vaak dezelfde werken uit het kabinet opgehemeld. Na haar dood liet Joannas echtgenoot Adriaan Blok het stamboek verder verfraaien. Ook hij liet hij het deel met gedichten uitgeven onder de titel Het stamboek op de papiere snykunst van mejuffrouw Joanna Koerten, huisvrouw van den heere Adriaan Blok (1735) (...) Diverse kunstenaars, calligrafen en dichters, zoals Gerard de Lairesse, Melchior de Hondecoeter, Jacob Gadelle, David van Hoogstraten en Katharina Lescailje, hebben in het boek geschreven. Het boek werd nog aangevuld tot na het overlijden van Adriaan, in 1726. De originele bladen van het boek zijn in 1765 los geveild in Haarlem." This is probably one of those leaves.
