Since this Memoir was in type, another letter, from William 

 Hartgill to Sir John Thynne, has been found at Longleat. It is, 

 on one account, rather a valuable one, inasmuch as it fully cor- j 

 roborates the statement in the " Narrative " (above, p. 245) that 

 Charles Stourton's attempt to compel his mother not to marry 



Father of William, and grandfather of Charles, Lord Stourton.
