Description

Folios 164-165. Letter from J [John] Ellis to Lord Ambassador Williamson enclosing the Act against corresponding with the late King 'which makes no very bulky pacquet'. Ellis writes that, among other things, he has not heard anything that the Lord Privy Seal or the Earl of Jersey are doing towards obtaining payment of their arrears for their entertainment; notice has been taken of the French naval preparations but no one can guess for what purpose; the Czar 'intends to remove out of Norfolk buildings, and has hired Mr Evelyn's house at Deptford, as being more private, and nearer the shipping, which he most delights in'.
