Details of
Title: HENRY VIII. to [SIR WILLIAM SKEFFINGTON.]
Description:

Have perceived by your letters and the advertisements from our Council the manner of the apprehension of Thomas FitzGerald in your last journey against him and O'Chonour. If he had been apprehended, the same had been much more to our contentation; but, nevertheless, we give you hearty thanks for your pains. We are not so much moved in respect of your age, sickness and debility as to remove you from your office, "but for your comfort be contented to tolerate your said sickness and debility, permitting you to continue therein." We desire that our Parliament there be summoned with all convenient diligence, and that you use such policy "that the causes to be moved there for us may take effect," according to our former letters, and the relation of the Treasurer of our Wars, the Chief Justice and the Master of the Rolls.
