2.  He  will  send  the  Queen's  plate  when  he  sees  more
surety.  It  is  not  safe  for  the  writer  (if  he  were  able)  to  accom-
pany him  [Smith]  to  the  Court,  seeing  the  Queen  Mother  and
the  King  of  Navarre  refuse  to  assure  him  to  have  access  to
them,  and  likewise  to  return  to  England  by  a  sufficient  safe-
conduct.  Smith  should  require  Sevre  to  procure  from  the
Queen  Mother  a  passport  to  send  a  courier  to  England  before
leaving  Paris.  Smith  should  not  leave  Paris  until  Middle-
more  arrives  there,  by  whom  he  intends  to  write  to  the
Queen  Mother.— Orleans,  12  Oct.  1562.

Came  to  Rye  to-day,  and  has  conferred  with  Armigil
Waade  concerning  the  bands  at  Dieppe.  Neither  Mr.  Ormesby
nor  any  other  write  of  lack  of  victuals.  Has  declared  Cecirs
pleasure  to  Mr.  Young  for  the  victualling.  The  wind  here  is

body.  Desires  her  to  use  his  house  as  her  own,  and  has
sent  his  man  Tempest  to  wait  upon  her  in  her  widowhood.
Trusts  she  will  not  marry  without  first  having  his  advice ;
and  if  she  has  a  husband  whom  he  approves  of,  and  God
should  send  her  more  children,  being  boys,  they  may  perchance
know  a  piece  of  his  liberality. — Madrid,  12  Oct.  1562.
