Pattricke, Fr., fl. 1605. Grayes Inne. To Samuel Borne. An account of the Gunpowder Plot and the seizure of Guy Fawkes., 1605, November 11 - box 1

Date:
1605, November 11 -
Scope Content:
Accompanied by a copy of warning letter to Lord Monteagle. Autograph document 1 p. 15 cm. Includes transcription This is apparently the only private letter containing a detailed contemporary account of the Gunpowder Plot. The fact that the letter is dated from Gray's Inn indicates that the writer had legal connections, and this may account for his inside knowledge of the affair less than a week after the event. The enclosed copy - also in Pattricke's hand - of the warning letter to Monteagle contains a few verbal variants from the original. At the foot is Pattricke's note that it was "Delivered to my Lorde of Mountegles page inclosed in a letter of his" and a list of the gunpowder and "other instruments" found in the cellar with Guy Fawkes.
