| The Earl of Northumberland to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
| 1652–53, March 1. |
"Unlesse it be upon some extraordinarie
occation, I forbeare to trouble your Lordship or my Lady of
Salisburie with any of my concernements. But there haveing
beene some propositions lately made unto me from my Lord
Capell and his mother for a marriage with my daughter, I shall be
very glad to understand your Lordships sence of it. The debts
being payed, the estate (as it is represented to me) will not be
great, but free and cleere from all manner of incumberances, and
such as one may live happiely upon. The portion demaunded is
more then ever I intended to give, or is indeede consistant with
the condition of my fortune. But to provide well for this daughter
I am contented to straine my selfe, if in other things I receave
satisfaction, and that your Lordship and my Lady of Salisbury
shall give your approbation to our further proceedeings. If your
Lordship care to know the particulars, I have appointed my
servant Champion to give you an account of what is proposed."—

| 1653, 14 May. |
"I have with the best care I could informed
my selfe concerning my Lord Capell and his estate, and have
receaved so good satisfaction in both as I think we shall now
sodainely proceede to a consummation of that marriage. (fn. 1) By all
my observation of the young Lord, I judge him likely to prove
very well; his disposition, temper and understanding seemes to
me more then ordinarily good, and lesse of impertinencie in him
then I have seene in one of his age and condition. My daughter
I hope will be as happie with this fortune as she could be in any
that are now within our view, and the more in haveing it accompanied with my Lady of Salisburys and your Lordships well
wishes."–14 May, 1653. Holograph. Seal. 1 p. (200. 23.) |

"The waiteing upon your Lordship and my
Lady of Salisbury att Hatfeild was a principall motive to my
thoughts of makeing a journie to Hadham when my daughter
should be settled there. But the summer will be so farr spent
before she and her Lord goe from hence that I think I shall lay
aside those intentions till an other yeare, and expect some other
opportunitie of offering though an unprofitable service yet one
that shall be payed you with much sinceritie when you have
ocation to commaund."—Petworth, 18 August, 1653. Holograph. Seal. 1 p. (200. 24.) |
