Letter: to the king

Letter to his majesty

Most sacred sovereign,

Your majesty being hitherto by several letters of 29 June, 8 and 29 July fully acquainted with the proceedings of this meeting of your estates, and there being now some persons come to them from both houses of your parliament of England, they resolve according to their duty to give your majesty notice thereof, as will more fully appear to your majesty by their enclosed copies of the papers given in by them, which, by their warrant and command, I do humbly present to your majesty. And as they do intend from time to time to render your majesty a true account of their proceedings, so shall I never be wanting to contribute my best endeavours for the good of your majesty's service, and to acquit myself with that fidelity which becomes your majesty's most humble and faithful subject and servant. [John Campbell, earl of] Loudoun, chancellor. In presence of the convention.
