A copy of this letter is in the letterbook on the pages that contains letters from May 1676, at the end of the recto letterbook page numbered 107. There this letter is clearly out of sequence. There is a large X in the left-hand margin (and a line across the page above the letter) to reinforce the impression that it was written in the wrong place, and the letter also appears in the proper date sequence.
