Catalogue description G. DE PRUNINCQ to LORD WILLOUGHBY.

--My last letter to your Lordship has been sent back from Dordrecht, owing to your departure for Middelburg. Mr. Bodley has done all that can be done by writing, but only when some qualified person takes the trouble to come hither can our affairs be settled. I most humbly implore your Lordship to aid me in this, that some such person may be sent to strike while the iron is hot. I dare not ask what I wish for, but your Lordship's discretion will supply what I am ashamed to say. The services of a miserable prisoner are too poor to offer, but your Lordship knows that I am entirely devoted to your service.

*Entered (in a list of letters) as Jan. 10. new style. Lord Willoughby left Dordrecht for Middelburgh on Jan. 7, N.S. See p. 250.
