Scope and content
Gives thanks for a List of New Years Gifts. Contends that they should be able to find the 'Gold Book' in a similar one and discusses other lists. Hopes Nicholls will keep him informed if Nicholls finds anything in his researches. Cannot find a name he is searching for in the list but believes it would be in a collection of Rev Cave at Wellingboro, which is described. Would like the list returned and mentions another book, Randle Holme's Academy of Armory, which he has found useful. Is sure that other lists can be traced in private hands. Discusses the work of Whittaker regarding the Queen and contends that the letters he uses as evidence are forged.
