Extract

Amongst some old books and papers belonging to the Office of Ordnance in the Tower to which I have access, there is one which contains copies of numerous Letters received by Sir Henry Witherington, Knt. Marshal of Berwick, between November 1581 and November 1592. These Letters are principally from Lord Hunsdon as Governor of Berwick; but there are others from Sir Francis Walsingham, from the Earl of Essex, and from the King of Scotland. This book is in the hand-writing of the period named.
