Copie di lettere [manuscript], 1672 April 5-October 15.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/642200359

Letter copy book kept by the British Envoy, an Italian, concerning a projected marriage between the Duke of York and the Archduchess Claudia Felicitas, addressed principally to Lord Arlington, the Duke of York, the Earl of Sunderland, Sir William Godolphin, the King, Sir Joseph Williamson, the Duke of Richmond, Sir William Swan, Lord Clifford, Sir Jonathan Trelawny and various ambassadors. A leaf pasted inside the cover, giving styles of address, includes the abbot of Lambspring; in 1672 the abbot was John Placid Gascoigne. One letter is from the emperor Leopold to Claudia's mother and another from the Earl of Peterborough to the King. At the end is a summary of the times of various postal services in Europe and a list of letters written, March 14 to December 29. Thought to be written by Bernard Gascoigne, the English resident at Vienna.
