Extract

I beg leave to advert to a very interesting Communication, which you laid before the Society of Antiquaries, the last night of their Meeting before the recess, of Letters from Charles Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Buckingham, to King James the First, from Madrid, in April 1623, requesting that a supply of Jewels might be sent to Spain, for their use, and to make presents; which you have recently printed in your valuable Collection of Original Letters on English History; and I have now the pleasure of transmitting to you, a copy of a very curious Document in this Office, which I flatter myself you will consider as an interesting appendage to the Letters alluded to, as it specifies every Jewel which was delivered to King James the First, to be sent to Spain, in consequence of the Prince and Duke's requisition.
