Christopher Levett, of York: The Pioneer Colonist in Casco Bay (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Christopher Levett, of York: The Pioneer Colonist in Casco Bay
A considerable collection of manuscript notes had now been gathered, which, with numerous letters from antiquaries and others to the author, were arranged in a scrap book in chronological order, and the search was continued in other directions. In the office of the Public Records, London, important matters turned up; a letter written by Levett to Buckingham's Secretary; the letter book of Lord Conway, containing items relating to Levett's New England affairs, and a proclamation of Charles the First, relating to the same subject; but after an extended search of several years more, a most valuable find was made, at Melbourne House, in Derby shire, the old residence of Secretary Coke, comprising a number of letters written by Levett to the Secretary, which disclosed many important facts relative to the writer. By permission of Lord Cowper, Mr. Fane most kindly copied these invaluable documents, and they were added to a collection which was growing apace.
