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.]
