Excerpt from Familiar Letters, or Epistolae Ho-Elianae, Vol. 2
Penington took us aboard in one of his Majesty's ships at Margate; and the wind stood so fair that we were at the mouth of the Elbe upon Monday following. It pleased my lord I should land first with two footmen, to make haste to Gluckstadt to learn where the King of Denmark was, and he was at Rendsburg, some two days journey off, at a Reichstag, an assembly. That cor responds to our Parliament. My lord the next day landed at Gliickstadt, where I had provided an accommodation for him, though. He intended to have gone for Hamburg, but I was bold to tell him, that m rega1d there were some umbrages, and not only so, but open and actual differences betwixt the king and that town, it might be ill taken if he went thither first before he had attended the king. 80 I left my lord at Gliickstadt, and being come hither to take up 8000 rich dollars upon Mr Burlamach's bills, and fetch Mr Avery our agent here, I return to-morrow to attend my lord again I find that matters are much of the hinges be twixt the King of Denmark and this town.
