As he took leave on departing for France, La Varenne had requested Mendoza to write to King Henry, but the Spaniard excused himself although professing the warmest friendship for his Majesty on the ground of the impossibility of addressing him correctly.
Mendoza and Tassis had given him to understand that a very good feeling prevailed between the court of Henry and of Elizabeth, and that the French were likely to come to a pacification among themselves.
