_General Monk and the University of Cambridge_ (Vol. vii., p. 427.).--I
cannot doubt that "W. D." was Dr. William Dillingham, Master of Emmanuel
College, and Vice-Chancellor of the University, from November 1659 till
November 1660.
The election to which his letter relates took place April 3, 1660. The
votes were:
Lord General Moncke 341
Thomas Crouch, M.A., Fellow of Trin. Coll. 211
Oliver St. John, Chancellor of the University 157
The Vice-Chancellor, in his accounts, makes this charge:
"Paid to two messengers sent to wait on y^e Lord Generall about y^e
burgesship, 4l. 10s."--_M. S. Baker_, xl. 59.
On the 22nd of May, General Monk, who had been also chosen for Devonshire,
made his election to sit for that county.
