This letter probably precedes Gregor’s letter to Grey Colin c. 25 Nov. 1564 (25). It
should be placed at the start of the attempts at reconcilation after the MacGregors’
return from Ireland: 8 Oct. (23); 25 Nov. 1564, GDI 12/39/3/11. In John McGregor’s
collection this letter is filed after 1 Feb. 1565, GD50/187/1: MacGregor/MacGregors’,
