Provenance
Purchased from A. S. W. Rosenbach, July 1924. After Blathwayt's death, the papers were in possession of Edward Southwell, his son-in-law. Then they were purchased by Sir Thomas Phillips (1792-1872) and were known Phillipps Mss. No. 8558. The papers were offered for sale in 1908, and changed hands at least once more, through the agency of Sotheby's.
