302 THE CROM ARTIE CORRESPONDENCE.
244. George first Earl of Cromartie to [John Earl of Mar, one of the
secretaries of state for Scotland]. 1
6 December 1705.
My Lord, — This day I had the honor of yours, with a token of your
kind remembrance of my concern in your letter to the Earl of Glasgow. I
find the Queen is pleased to delay herr ordor as to my dear dear bought
1500/. I regrate mostly in it that, tho I hope herr Majesty expresses no
anger in the delay (for I doe presume that I never deserved that at Queen
or Kings hands), yett all others haveing gott theirs past of the samne nature
with mine, and mine the only one stopt, and now the only one that is delayed,
demonstrate that herr Majesty doth think me not much worth, ether of
favour or respect, at least in comparaison. But, since herr Majesty is certainly
the cheeff and best judge, I most humbly submitt till shee please to declare
herr royall pleasure ; and I doe regrate that I find it stunns many who hitherto
were thought loyalists more then it vexes me. But, if your Lordship pleases,
I wish herr Majesty may know these my humble submissions to her pleasure.
My Lord, I wanted 500/. of my salarie whilst secretare, and 600/. which herr
Majesty did give me for my downcomeing to the last session of parliament, and
return. Your Lordships letter to the E[arl] of Glas[gow] mentions only my
salary, albeit the words may comprehend both. The words are (his dues whilst
secretare) : and that expedition and session of parliament were dureing that (to
me) unhappy, tho honorable, imployment ; therefore, if your Lordship pleases,
by another lyne to the E[arl] of Gl[asgow], to explicat it so. Albeit other
salaries be payed, — after that these dues were not only resting to me, but after
herr Majesties particular ordor to pay me prime- loco, and after the treasuries
