August 1605



Aug. 4.	53. Rob. Barker to Sir Thos. Lake. I have ended the dispute with Mr. Ducke respecting the possession of Upton, by accepting his demands, and giving him an allowance for the rest of the term. I have obtained the lease, with reversion for 21 years, from the Lord Treasurer, on favourable terms; after this, fresh terms were demanded, and when not yielded to, complaint made to the King; but after due explanations, the matter was settled as before. [2 pages.]
Aug. 10. Norwich.	54. R. Douglas to Sir Thos. Lake. I send my paper by the bearer, who is to bring it back, to pass the Great Seal. I had much to do to get the Treasurer's hand to it, but he signed it when the Prince was in his house. [²/3 pages.]
Aug. 12. Westminster.	55. David Drummond to Sir Thos. Lake. Thanks for your assistance and influence with the King. On account of your absence from Court, my suit was committed to the Lord Treasurer, who fears drawing from the public treasury; I lack influence at Court, being absent from friends and country, and poor. I think my literature and long travels in the King's service deserve a reward, but am almost going back to Scotland in despair. Dirleton, Ramsay, Hay, and Julius Caesar will be my friends. I have offers from the French King. [1 page, Latin, damaged.]
