Extract

These notes, written in Hatton's hand, are almost too brief to be intelligible. They are evidently short memoranda of matters concerning Scotland and the Scottish Queen, either for his own consideration or possibly for use in the Privy Council. They belong to a time when Scotland was more than ever estranged from England.

References

page 21 note 1 This probably refers to a letter which James VI wrote to Elizabeth on the 4th of May, 1584, demanding the delivery of certain Scottish nobles, friends of Gowrie and members of the discomfited English party in Scotland, who had fled into England (Thorpe, Scot. Cal. i, p. 470).

page 21 note 2 Probably a reference to the fugitive Scottish nobles just referred to.

page 22 note 1 Probably Hatton had in mind here a project of mediation between the party of the Earl of Arran then in power in Scotland, and the fugitive nobles in England.
