Description

Folios 53-55. Letter dated 'Windsor Tuesday' from Lord Sunderland to the King. 'I received your Majesty's letter of the 7th with all the respect and gratitude possible, and your pardon with joy. If any of my thoughts are worthy of your inquiry, Mr [Henry] Guy will acquaint you with them, which I dare not presume to do, but only beg leave to name my Lord Clancarty to you, thus far, that I hope you will do with him that which is best for your affairs, but I cannot wish that that may be mercy, upon account of his being the first since the peace who designed to surrender himself, which cannot be drawn into precedent. I most humbly beg your Majesty's pardon for this boldness'
