Letter,
Earl of
Suffolk
to
Sir Thomas Lake
, 8 December 1613. One folded sheet, two leaves: the
letter occupies pp. 1-2; p. 3 blank; p. 4 subscription. Note: Sackville's participation
was in doubt because he had killed Lord Bruce of Kinloss in a
duel: he was added to the list of masquers at the
Earl of
Somerset
's wedding (i.e. Campion's The Masque of Squires), but had been struck off again
(see H&S, 10.538-9).
