_Scandal against Queen Elizabeth_ (Vol. ii., p. 393.; Vol. iii., pp. 11.
151. 197. 225.).--Your correspondents seem to have overlooked the
celebrated {308} letter of Queen Mary of Scotland, printed in the _State
Trials_, and lately reprinted by Lord Campbell in his _Lives of the
Chancellors_, tit. Sir C. Hatton. I may as well add (though I do not
believe the fact) that my grandmother (herself a Devereux) repeated to me
the tradition of a son of Queen Elizabeth's having been sent to Ireland.
