Catalogue description EDWARD, LORD CRUMWELL, to LORD WILLOUGHBY.

--Your Lordship uses me, in your letters, with more kindness than so small a matter required, but I am glad it was my hap to make requital even of part of the least of all your many kind good turns. I have dealt as effectually as I could concerning Mr. Baker's cause, as I think he himself will tell you.

Postscript.-"Deane was accused unto my father for counterfeiting of his hand unto licences for men to travel by; whereupon my father sent for his cognizance, but could not have it, for he fled presently out of the country and so could never get it until such time as it was my chance to meet with him at Stanford, where I would not let him go until such time as Mr. Cleypole and one other, who I do not well remember, gave their words for it....The fellow was ever a very evil disposed person, as will be proved by divers."

Endorsed:-"Lord Cromwell to Lord Willoughby, touching Wm. Deane."
