ABSTRACT
When they were arrived at a short distance from Paris, Wallace wrote a few lines to King Philip, informing him who were the companions of his journey, and that he should rest in the abbey of St. Denis until he should receive his majesty's greetings to Bruce. Grimsby was the bearer of this letter. He soon returned with an escort of honour headed by Prince Louis, who was eager to welcome his deliverer. At sight of Wallace he flew into his arms, and after embracing him again and again with all the unchecked ardour of youthful fondness, he presented to him a packet from the king.
