Sir James Houblon's notebooks regarding international trade
Manuscripts
HM 83393 : "A Relation of my voyage made with Sr Juan Esquerdo to Medina & ca." A manuscript account of a 1683 trip through Spain from Chicana to Medina, including the towns of Beheal and Coneal. This was a business trip for Houblon as he describes the harvest and markets for grapes and olives, but he also comments on capital punishment, medical care, religious houses, architecture, marriage and inheritance customs. The 17 page manuscript was removed from a volume and there are remnants of the spine remaining on the pages; there is a strong possibility this manuscript and HM 83394 were once part of the same volume.
