| Mary Gate to the Earl of Salisbury. | |
| [Before August, 1609]. |
She has long been a suitor to the King
for the benefit of the false purchase of Hunmanby, which he once
granted her before giving it to the Earl of Suffolk. (fn. 1) Since then
Sir Daniel Donne has informed her that six other suits of hers have
been rejected by the King. She reminds Salisbury of his father's
esteem for her father, Sir Henry Gate, and requests that he intervene
with the King to procure for her a 30 years' lease of so much land
as will provide her with £50 annually. Otherwise, she appeals for
assistance in some form or other in accordance with the King's
wishes.—Undated. ¾ p. (P. 427.) |
