| LETTERS AND MEMORANDA OF EDWARD DE VERE, 17TH EARL OF OXFORD
Seventy-seven of Oxford's letters and memoranda survive from the period 1563-1604, almost all in his own distinctive italic hand. Most of the letters and memoranda deal with business affairs, rather than personal matters, and all but a few are addressed to Oxford's father-in-law, Lord Burghley, and his brother-in-law, Sir Robert Cecil. Dr. Alan Nelson has transcribed these letters and memoranda in the original spelling. The modern spelling versions presented here have been correlated with those on Dr. Nelson’s website for the convenience of readers who wish to compare the modern and original spelling versions.
