44. Dr. Arthur Lake to Sir Thos. Lake. I have been to the
Bishop of Winchester, who will do his best to forward Dr. Harding,
though there is a great conspiracy to exclude him. I have done
what I could for Sir Thomas Smith, but there are doubts about the
title of the city. I will follow your advice if Worcester become
void, as it may lead to this deanery or wardenry, and in two years,
Sir Rich. Tichborne's lease of his archdeaconry will be demiseable.
I wish the benefit thereof before I become dean. [1 page.] |
