Catalogue description LORD WYLLUGHBY to LORD TREASURER BURGHLEY.

--Praying him to further the request of the magistrates of Dordrecht, that Captain Adrien Cornellis Roerom may be allowed to import from England two hundred lasts of wheat and other grain for victualling the town; the "plat pays" round Dordrecht having been so spoiled by the rains and inundations of the past year that its harvest does not suffice to supply the inhabitants, and the less so as the navigation of the Rhine and the Meuse has been taken from them by the enemy. Translation (differing in one or two points) of the original letter amongst the State Papers, which is dated Dec. 28].
