What a great find, NoBill! You can even see some of the collection online.

There are letters from Elizabeth I and what I would love to see is the letter Charles II wrote to Comte d'Estrees concerning the combined fleet of France and England against the war with Holland.

And you can actually request them to read.

Thanks!

I could spend hours just pouring over the illuminations. Thanks for sharing.
