July 1576



July 7. Original Letter, Venetian Archives.	659. Queen Elizabeth to Alvise Mocenigo, Doge of Venice.
	During the last few months she has received so much benefit from the skill of D. Cæsar Scacco, physician, that she has thought it fitting to signify the fact to his Serenity. As she will have need of his skill for a month or two longer, she asks that his stay in England may not be prejudicial to his affairs in Italy, but rather that for her sake he may have the Doge's favour, and letters of recommendation, if necessary, for obtaining honours at Chioggia, where he usually resides.
	Dated at her Palace of Greenwich, 7th July 1576, in the 18th year of her reign.
	Signed by the Queen at the foot.
	[Latin.]
July 12. Original Despatch, Venetian Archives.	660. Giovanni Francesco Morosini, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Signory.
	A report has been lately in circulation that the Queen of England is dead, but the news is not believed because it does not come from an authentic source, and moreover the English Ambassador is much annoyed at these reports, and has affirmed to me that the Queen is in excellent health, and ails nothing; but as the rumour is public I mention it, knowing that news from here reaches Venice.
	Paris, 12th July 1576.
