ABSTRACT
Observation by Louvois. The design of the doors that you have sent for the citadel is too large and too magnificent: once again, a way must be found to diminish them considerably. His Majesty is having too many fortified places built to continue to make for them beautiful doors that add nothing to the effectiveness of the place. I beg you to work on diminishing them in order to ensure that they no longer cost more than , ecus for the pair.
