Title
Letter from George [Carey], Lord Hunsdon, the Court at Greenwich, to Sir William More, Sir George More, Laurence Stoughton and William Wright. The bearer, Robert Sharpe, is being molested by unjust lawsuits brought by his neighbours Edward Owen and 'one Skeers'. Sharpe is a servant of the Queen and often absent, and his adversaries take advantage of this to 'daily increase his charge in answering their injurious troubles and vexations'. Hunsdon asks them to call the parties together and if possible settle the dispute or refer the matter to him. [HMC p.657b; see also 6729/12/28]
