The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul 57: John Chamberlain to Sir Dudley Carleton. {Dom. State Papers, Jac. I., vol. cx. No. 94.) 2 October, 1619.

57

The King was here yesterday at Whitehall, but is now gon to Tiballs [Theobalds]. He came from Hampton-Court, where Sir Thomas Rowe presented him with two antelopes, a straunge and beautifull kind of red-deare, a rich tent, rare carpets, certain vmbrellaes and such like trinckets from the great mogul. For ought I heare he hath not prouided so well for himself as was thought at first, but must relie vpon the Companies liberalitie. I haue little acquaintance with any of them, so that I cannot promise much in theyre behalfe ; but when Sir Dudley Digges comes to towne, I will set him on work, who is gracious among them and vnderstands theyre courses and I know wilbe redy to do any goode office in whatsoeuer may concern you.
