TRUMBULL PAPERS. Vols. CLXXV-CLXXXII. Papers of William Trumbull as Clerk of the Privy Council, etc.; 1573-1635 and n.d. Partly fair copies and drafts. These papers supplement the others that are distributed among Trumbull's general correspondence in Add. MSS 72347-72373 above. Although Trumbull secured one of the four Clerkships to the Council in 1615 the main bulk of the material derives from the period between 1625 and 1635. It includes orders, warrants, minutes and letters, etc., of the Privy Council, the Star Chamber and the Council of War, with petitions addressed to them. Some of the documents are copied in the hand of his son William Trumbull II. Also included are papers relating to the office of Muster Master General, which Trumbull held ex officio as senior Clerk from 1632.
