Aldenham. - Will send 38 letters from James II to the Abbé de Rancé of La Trappe, as requested: Houghton must judge whether the finished article at over 100 pages would be too long; cannot supply anything requiring a lengthy introduction; the letters contain few new facts about James but have 'a certain psychological interest'.
