415. Francis, Lord Cottington, to the King. Your Majesty was
heretofore moved at Oxford for the settling in Genoa of an able
and well-affected man to be Consul for your subjects repairing into
those parts, namely, for one Jacomo Anfossi, native, and one of a
good family there, who speaks perfect English. Having now found
him here in this town, retaining the same affection to your
service, I have judged it fitting that he should be established there
as Consul, and have drawn up a nomination which must go in
English, and a letter in Latin to that Duke and State, which, if your
Majesty will sign, the party himself will negotiate the rest there.
