Downshire MSS. ii page 17. The last paragraph on page 16 evidently supplies the date to the document printed on page 2 mentioned above.

In addition to those specified in the text of this calendar, copies or originals of the following documents summarised in these pages are to be found in the Public Record Office:—
Pages 9–10 in S.P. Spain 13.
" 34–5 in S.P. Barbary States 1.
Page 212, line 13. The "remembrance" is in S.P. Turkey 5.

The correspondence to and from Sir Thomas Edmondes calendared on pages 140, 146, 156, 161, 177, 208, 221, 240, 244, 255, 259, 273, 279–80, 291, is to be found in its complete form in S.P. Flanders 8 (see Introduction page XVII). It is clear from the latter that the references to the Lord Treasurer on pages 128, 259, 283, 347 are to the Earl of Salisbury (who succeeded to the office on the death of the Earl of Dorset in April 1608), and they have been indexed accordingly. The letters printed on pages 279–80, 291 and 301–3 appear also in Cal S.P. Ireland 1606–08 pages 625–31 whose editor made use of the correspondence in S.P. Flanders mentioned above.
