57. Henry Killigrew to Walsingham. [Oct. 15.]
Had thought to have seen him before now, but his harvest is not all in the barn, which causes his absence for a while longer, unless he advises him to the contrary. Having received the two inclosed no sooner than yesterday he thought it his duty to send them to him, that he may have the contents of them in his good remembrance at his next despatch into Scotland. Has not written one word northward since he was with him. If the Regent deals too hardly with the Earl of Argyll, as it seems by the inclosed letter that he will, fears some inconvenience will ensue thereof, which he wishes might be prevented by her majesty's mediation, Beseeches him, if he has made any despatch, to let him know what he thinks convenient and fit for him to write to the Regent, or to any of those that committed credit to him in their lelters to her majesty, which he has. Thanks him for his good gelding. Did not see the Lord Treasurer nor the Lord Keeper since he saw him. If Mrs. Ursula be a courtier he greets her after the best manner, though it be out of the country. Prays that all saints were come that mean to come this year, that he might pay her 20l. Hendon. Signed: H. Kyllygrew.

58. Henry Killigrew to Walsingham. [Oct 17.]
At his coming to this town about his payment, which must be tendered the 20th of this month, he found these inclosed, which he cannot bring himself for the cause above rehearsed. Beseeches him to deal with the Queen to write to the Regent, according to the Countess of Argyll's request in these letters of hers. If her majesty forbears to do anything in the Countess's favour that she may do in honour, thinks she so much prejudices her own service. Walsingham has the articles agreed by the Regent and sent by him to the Earl of Argyll, and may see he deals hardly, which he is heartily sorry to see. Where Alexander Hay refers him in his letter to one from the Regent, none such came yet to his hands. Knows not what to write to the Regent or any other in that country until he may speak with him, which shall be after the 20th of this month. London. Signed: H. Kyllygrew.
