July 1562



July 10.	1467. Lady Throckmorton to Sir N. Throckmorton.
	1. Trusts he has received 800 French crowns by the Ambassador of Portugal. Is in suit to get more money for him; if she can have any (and she fears it will be hard to obtain), she will send it by John Thomson, whom she means to send with Mr. Smyth, who is prepared to go, but as yet has not instructions to be ambassador there.
	2. The Queen is fully resolved to go this progress, with which news the Lord of Lethington is gone to Scotland. She and the Queen of Scots will meet at Sheffield, at Lord Shrewsbury's house; and the writer is appointed to wait upon her by her own command. Has done what she can, both by herself and the Lady Marquis, to stay her going, and laid before the Queen her lack of means; but nothing will serve, for the Queen tells her to make ready as well as she can, and for the rest she will take order for her. He knows these are only words; she looks for nothing else. Prays him to lend her Martyn, his lacky, to wait upon her this journey. Lacks also a horse-keeper and a man to wait upon her now she sends him Thomson.
	3. Mr. Cornewallis's house is to be sold, which she caused both Mr. Osborne (fn. 1) . . . . . price 500l., and 400l. is offered him. Prays him to think how near it stands to her brother's, and how many other good neighbours he shall have there. Trusts his anger is appeased, and that his next letter will be milder; she was before glad to hear from him, but is now afraid, his letters be so bitter.
	4. Asks him to cause the enclosed letter to be delivered to Mr. Snowe, who is in Condé's camp, and also to send word if he has heard anything of young Dannett and Guylford.— London, 10 July. Orig. Add. Endd. by Throckmorton's servant, and again by his son. Much damaged by damp and in a most fragile condition. Pp. 3.
July 18.	1468. Stopio to Mason.
	Wrote last Saturday, since which time he has received the news now forwarded. Intelligence from Constantinople. Reports of an agreement in France, but they are not confirmed. Will forward the intelligence which is expected from Trent.—Venice, 18 July. Signed. Orig. Hol., with seal. Add. Endd. Ital. Pp. 2.
