Catalogue description LORD WYLLUGHBY to the MAGISTRATES OF DORDRECHT.

--I am exceedingly sorry that you refuse to accommodate in your town the gentlemen who have followed me, and especially my kinsman, Sir John Wingfield, from which conduct I can only conclude (although it is contrary to what was told me yesterday) that my services and person are not agreeable to you. I assure you that if this be the case, I shall willingly withdraw, nor need you fear any diminution of my favour, for I believe that the treatment I have met with is due only to the carriage of certain individuals (desirous of disturbing the friendship of the well-disposed burghers with her Majesty's forces) and not to the body of the magistrates as a whole, to whom I shall ever remain bound for former courtesies.
