HISTORICAL CORRESPONDENCE VOLUME XI

Historical correspondence volume XI, containing documents numbered 1-184. Green leather binding, later in date than the preceding volumes, bearing the title on the spine 'Letters etc from Bishops and Statesmen'. The manuscript list of contents is not in William Bray's hand. The endpapers bear the watermark 'Van Gelder'. Like 6729/10/ below, it was probably bound for the first time at the Public Record Office, 1909; it does not appear to be a rebinding of one of the volumes bound by William Bray. The volume chiefly contains letters from successive Bishops of Winchester, John Watson and Thomas Cooper, and from noblemen including Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham, Thomas Sackville, Duke of Dorset, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, William Brooke, Lord Cobham, Thomas Egerton, Viscount Brackley, Sir Christopher Hatton, Edward Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, and his wife Elizabeth.
