The three enclosed original papers were put into my hands a few weeks since by Lord Sinclair at Nisbett house, in Berwickshire, where his Lordship found them, when he became possessed of that ancient seat of the Carr family; these had been carefully preserved, with other family papers, in a small box. The first of them, addressed to King James the first, by whose command it appears to have been written, contains a variety of charges against the Duke of Buckingham; and was probably drawn up by Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, the former favourite, though it is not in his hand writing, being evidently a fair copy made by a secretary. The two other papers addressed to King Charles the first, in favour of the Earl of Somerset, are written in a very neat hand in letters of gold, and both endorsed with the descriptions here prefixed to them, in the Earl's hand-writing.
