Scope and content

Ashby de la Launde, near Sleaford. - Has 'sent off the tribute [a portion of his shooting bag] in accordance with our Original Protocol'. Next year it will be shot from the Ashby Coverts, as he has ordered 'the utter extirpation of the acclimatised bird of Phasis from the Martin Wood, the Raids you alluded to [by poachers?]... being too vexatiously & the system of decoy too glaring to be endured' either by King or by his keeper, who has worked for him for 34 years. 'Timberland & Fryston consequently I guess by my edict will suffer'.
