"I am much obliged to you for your constant intelligence, and so are
greater persons than myself, for I happened to be with Lord Rochford
to-day when his letters arrived from his Excellency, and he had sent no
despatches of a later date than the 26th, so that his Majesty and his
ministers would have known nothing of a report having been made by that
committee, but for my information. Lord R. sent your letters with my
leave to the King. They will do no discredit to the writer, especially
when compared to that _blotting_ paper wrote by his Excellency."
In another letter he talks of the reports of speeches made by his
correspondent being far better than those of any _note-taker_; so that if
they are forthcoming, I have no doubt they would be of interest and value
to the historian of Ireland of that time.
