| Description | Copied from the originals in "the library of Sir Thomas Phillips Bart. at Middle Hill" sometime in the 19th century.
Almost all of the letters are addressed to William Blathwayt and are from the 4th Earl of Manchester or the Earl's secretary Abraham Stanyan. Efforts may already have been made to redact the contents of the letters by the time they were transcribed as there are several places marked with notes with "lines destroyed".
