April 1598
| Richard Hawkyns to the Earl of Essex. | |
| 1598, April 1. |
From the Tercera and on divers occasions
he has written to Essex, on whom depends his hope of restoration to liberty. Begs Essex to procure him some prisoner that
may free him. It will be no great pay for his many years'
service without recompense, as the Lord Admiral and the sea
books can witness: which is the only blot that detains the King
from signing his liberty. Refers to his father's, uncle's and
his own services to Essex and his father, and begs Essex to
advise his wife what course she should take for his best remedy.
—From the Common Gaol in Syvyll, 1 April 1598. Holograph. 1 p. (199. 56.) |

| [John Colville] to the [Earl of Essex.] | |
| [1598, April.] |
This Spaniard Spinosa at their embarking
seeing a many of your ships and of the Zeelanders lying before
Calais in their way, took great fear and found fault that the
rest was so hasty, as by his own letter written back to Bruges
to his brother you shall see shortly; so it may be that he has
taken some other ship away. Broun will make you certain
thereof. If they hear before their embarking of the intercepting
of their letters, it shall put them to some other resolution;
alway now you are on your guard there, and except you permit
them willingly their purpose is defeated for once, and if I may
say it without ostentation, I believe the lifting of 500 armed
men had not disappointed them so much. If this be well
accepted, God willing, you shall see a better follow; Whose
name be blessed for ever.—Undated. Endorsed:—Mr. Collile. 1 p. (174. 72.) |
