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.)
