Bodleian Library, MS Eng. Misc. C.4, fol. 4

Receipt to Philip Fludde for payment for travelling between Newmarket and London. The receipt appears on the recto of a single, unfolded paper leaf; the bottom right-hand corner of the MS has been torn off, probably to indicate the account had been settled. The MS is bound with seven other papers dating from 1617-20, all of which relate to payments made on behalf of the prince for plays, masques and entertainments. (Note: This payment may refer to the Running Masque, performed in Jan. and Feb. 1620.)
