I am glad to hear the Box is arrived safe & I enclose you the Key - It is very improbable that any of the documents will ever be wanted again but of course the same must be kept ^<1>

Yours truly
W^m Cha^s King

Notes:

1. This was "a box filled with old court Rolls and documents relating to your Estates which I had intended to send you to be kept in your muniment room." These valuable historical documents had just escaped destruction in a fire in King's office. See Doc. No: 06207.
