The letter is followed by Essex's reply to Bacon; a description of Essex's discussions with Henry Wriothsley, Earl of Southampton concerning their rebellion; a letter from Essex to the Queen; and An apology of the Earle of Essex against those which falsely and maliciously taxe him to be the onelye hinderance of the peace...1598, dedicated to Anthony Bacon.
