In a brief note written by Virmont from Plovdiv and addressed to the Hofkriegsrat, he reports on the condition of the plague on his route. At Plovdiv, he gives strict orders to his entourage to stay in camp and prohibits anyone from the city from entering the camp. He writes that changing his route could be considered, but that would have prolonged the journey and thus is not preferable. He recommends that Graf von Oduyer, the Habsburg commander in Belgrade, do his utmost to prevent the spread of the plague.
