Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nicholas Papers, Vol. 3: Correspondence of Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State Unfortunately, however, just when his letters would have been of most interest they cease altogether. Sir Henry de Vic, Resident at Brussels, is a more regular correspondent, and Sir Marmaduke Langdale also writes frequently from the same neighbourhood, chiefly on his negotiations with the Levellers, Col. Edward Sexby and Richard Overton. At Paris, besides Lord Hatton, Nicholas still had as an "intelligencer" Percy Church, whose interesting series of news letters, like those of Jane from the Hague, embody much information from English sources. When after a time they come to an end, they are succeeded by a new series from Sir Richard Browne, the Royalist Resident. From England direct there are only a few anonymous letters of news. Among other occasional correspondents abroad are the Marquis of Ormonde, Sir Alexander Hume, Capt. Peter Mews (the future bishop), Col. Robert Whitley, Henry Bennet, George Lane, Sir William Bellenden, and Sir John Marlay. There is a curious letter also from Count Ulefeldt, the disgraced Danish minister, defending himself from charges of embezzlement in connection with aid given by the King of Denmark some years before to Montrose. Of letters written by Nicholas himself five only are included. As was the case with the much greater number in the two previous volumes, they have been preserved among the extracts made from his lost letter-books by Dr. Thomas Birch in 1750-51 (see vol. i., preface).
