Two pages, 8vo, very good condition, with a few holograph corrections. He thanks Lord Elibank for the loan of pamphlets, naming the one on Bismarck that he is returning. He agrees with most of what Elibank says about the Armada, finding the key question whether there was 'a strike of not'. He continues, "With regard to Lucy Walter. I have indeed read the late Lord George Scott's book and discovered the facts to which you refer. It seemed to me a delicate subject on which to write and this is the reason why I answered the question in such a general manner. For, were such a document found and if it still existed, it is difficult to imagine the constitutional issue that might result. Although on the strength of it, we are much better off having the House of Windsor, the first Duke of Monmouth did have great qualities and the present Buccleuch family are wonderful people [note by Elibank "They are. They are incidentally cousins of mine!"] | I would like to thank you again for writing to me in such a kind way. The more one reads history academically the more one comes up against rooted prejudice. This is one reason why I changed from history to law up here at Oxford." Lord Elibank has underlined the phrases and sentences to which he add a marginal note, presumably as part of a response, concluding with his expressing a wish to meet him when he's less "occupe".
