80. [William Earl of Pembroke] to Sir Thos. [La]ke. I have
inquired of all my under officers in the Forest of Dean, as to the

to have enclosed in his park; and as I hear it is very poor [and not
where] the deer do lie, it will not prejudice the forest if His Majesty
grant it. [½ page, much damaged, and signature torn off.] |
