_Draytone and Yong._--The following note was found by me among the
Exchequer Records, on their sale and dispersion, a few years ago:--
"I praye you fellowe Draytone do so invehe for me as to Resave
all svche moneye as is dewe to me from the handes of Ser
Vincente Skyner Knyghte or else wheare from thos offysers of the
excheqer And this shalbe yovr discharge. Written the laste daye
of Janvarye 1607. Henry Yong."
Can your subscribers inform me who the writer was? Mr. Payne Collier
states that there was an interlude-maker of the name of Henry Yong in
the reign of Henry VIII. Is it likely that the note was addressed to
Michael Drayton?
