Talbot (Gilbert), later seventh Earl of Shrewsbury, and Mary his wife LETTER to his father, dated 'At Godrydche your L. castell this xijth day of Jan 1575.' 1« pages, paper size 12«" x 9", 42 lines in all, signed by both Mary and Gilbert 'your L. moste humble And obedyent Lovinge children'. Blank conjoint leaf with 'To my Lorde father' on verso, small piece torn from bottom of blank leaf. Loosely inserted in specially-made grey card folder. He says the bearer of the letter, his father's sergeant of 'Ichingfylde' (possibly Ecclesfield near Sheffield) is to bring him all the money he could gather from the 'extretts of Ichyngfylde', although the bailiffs say many complain they are not worth as much as they are amerced. A man called Wygfall will meet the Earl at Sheffield a day or two after the sergeant and go through the accounts 'which withoute his owne explayninge wolde very hardly be understode, And I can now best spare him for that the Furnesse is not yet blowynge which after it be once sett a worke will require much more tendynge, And I hope aboute his returne we shal be in a redines to sett her in hande'. He says he will send a full account of the the state of the works. 'The Iron goeth but slowly away, for that I will not cum so Lowe As the contry thynketh to brynge me unto, And I am moste Assured by forbering hastie salle for a wyle to brynge them to xj. li. xs. the Tunn'. He says he has arranged for two fellows to make a pump in the well. He is to pay them 20 nobles and find them the lead. He then asks for his father's advice about whether 'ye parlament dothe houlde, which is here thoughte to doe, the tyme drawyng neere....' 1575. £230.00 ¶ At this time Gilbert was M.P. for Derbyshire. He apparently conspired with his step-mother 'Bess of Hardwick' against his father, but after his death quarelled violently with her and all the rest of his family, and his tenantry. He accused his younger brother and a doctor of conspiring to kill him and even challenged him to a duel. His father George Talbot was at this time the keeper of Mary Queen of Scots at his castle at Sheffield. The Talbots owned extensive land in the Forest of Dean. There is no clue as to where the blowing furnace was situated, but it may have been near Lydney.
