IRHB comments

The editors of the calendar note that this record runs to half a page, but they do not state whether it is a letter, a note etc. The Cecil who endorsed the letter was Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury (1563?-1612), Lord High Treasurer May 1598-24 May 1612, Lord Privy Seal 1598-1612, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster 8 October 1597-1599, and Secretary of State 5 July 1590-24 May 1612. The Lord Admiral was Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham, usually referred to as Howard of Effingham. Note that as the source cited is a calendar of records, it does not give the (full) and actual text of the original MS sorce.
