Scope and content
Typescript-copy of a letter, in which the exiled King James II replies to the petition of Andrew Lincoln. The King approves Lincoln's request that a certificate of recommendation be supplied to him, since he has been well-informed by several of his most loyal subjects of the Kingdom of Ireland, that Lincoln is a gentleman, descended from a good family of the Kingdom of Ireland, the origin of which can be traced to an ancient family of the Kingdom of England.
