Sir Richard Weston
1624 (25 June), order by Sr. Richard Weston, Chancellor of the Exchequer, to pay £10 for services to the King rendered by Daniel More. Written on paper folded four times horizontally with some tearing to the edges. Signed by Weston, subscribed "Mr. Henshawe I praie yow paie this Order, Robert Pie".

Sir Richard Weston (1577-1634 c.), Earl of Portland. Although receiving praise for his fiscal policies, in the last year of his life he had to secure the King's pardon after being found to have recouped himself £44,500 out of money which might, or perhaps ought, to have gone to the King.
