- Scope & Content:

ff. 1r–45v: Volume IX of the Evelyn Papers. An imperfect, possibly draft inventory of goods at Leicester House and Kenilworth Castle, c. January–May 1582. The inventory of Leicester House (ff. 1r–26v), which incorporates (ff. 2r–6v passim) some notes of valuation, concludes with ‘A note of a newe supplye of napery for Leicester howsse. maij 1581’ (f. 26v).
Following the list (ff. 22r–23v) of maps, books and of pictures are some ‘Pictures lately bought’ (f. 24r). Another hand has added marginal notes throughout referring to losses, thefts or transfers, etc., of items, the latest being dated 25 April 1582 (f. 20r). That the inventory was not the work of Thomas Underhill or Richard Browne is clear from the notes ‘To Vnderhill. xxvijo april 1580. he doethe not chardge hym self with it. Quere’ (f. 13v) and ‘Quere where this bowle should be chardged. Browne hath it not’ (f. 2v).
The text is copied between vertical pencil rules in a current secretary hand; f. 27r is blank except for ruled margins on the recto. Formerly Evelyn MS 263.
