APPENDIX 1. 441
Paper OXXIV.
Marquess of Huntly to Lord Louat.
Lord Lovat was certainly playing double, as tbe Stuart
Papers show that even as late as February 8, 1716, be was
privy to payment being made to his chmsmen by the Chevalier's
adherents ; still no duplicity on Lovat's part could save Huntly's
home from pillage, and himself from outlawry unless he made
terms with Argyll's advancing forces. With Inverness in
Government hands, and both the Chevalier and Lord Mar
en route for France, the situation was hopeless.
"February 14.
" My Lord,
" I had the hon r of y r Ldship and am sorry I
could not thinke myselfe safe from Duke Argels
forces upon the assurances made mee since it hind rd
me the pleasure of waiting on y r Lordship and my
other friends. I have submitted to the Government
and my friends but could not in particular to any-
body unless D Argil had ordred mee who gav me
assurances of life and fortune for myself and friends
before I came from Pearth by allowances of the
Government. I thank y r Ldship most kindly and
all my friends for their good will towards me and
shall bee glad if ever I hav opportunity to return
all civilitys done me with gratitued ashur y 1 ' Ldship
