Note 323 — Chapter XXI · THE VISIT TO “HIGH BURGONY”[287]

After pointing out that the instructions order Hoby to return home at once after obtaining portraits of the two Guises and the daughter of the Duke of Lorraine, he continues: “Yet instructions for his proceeding on another very similar mission seem to have been drawn up at or near the same time; and by these second instructions he was not to come home at all, but proceed at once from the duchess of Lorraine in France to the duchess of Milan in the Netherlands. It would seem, however, that the heading to the second set of instructions has been supplied by a transcriber of a later date, and it is clearly inaccurate.” C.L.P., vol. xiii. pt. i., preface, p. xxxviii.
