Excerpt from A Diary of the Public Correspondence of Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall, Bart;, 1633-1645: From the Original, in the Library at Pinkie House A collection of the letters of this distinguished person would probably afford additional illustrations of his own character, as well as of the momentous events of his own time. Very few of these are at present known to exist; but the two following, printed from the originals, seem to be consonant with the view here taken of his political conduct at the most important crisis ofhis life. The first is addressed to William Earl of Morton, one of the most zealous adherents of the King; the other to the Earl of Rothes, one of the most ardent leaders of the Covenant.
