Copy of two Holograph Letters under the deceased Viscount of Stormonts' Hand, which (besides several others) prove, that the Rights acquired by the said Viscount on the Estate of Annandale Murray, were in Trust for the behoof of Sir Robert Murray alias Creichton,  
Sir, London, June 19, 1666.  
MY Brother William can inform you, That I have present use for some Papers of the Earl of Annandals, (which are in the Lady Carlips' possession) and hitherto I would not suffer those I entrusted to search these papers, unless you were present; And therefore I shall most earnestly entreat, you may be pleased to favour me so much, as to throw away one Hour with my Brother William and Mr. Allan, for making search of these papers, which I shall acknowledge a most singular Obligation, and shall endeavour a Requital: By my Brother John, (who came here Yesternight) I had a very satisfactory Letter from Sir Robert Murray, who expresseth a great deal of Readiness and Dutifulness to sign that Ratification, (which he sent to you in order to your Advice) I did indeed declare to him my Resolutions of not moving in his Commissions, until that be done; And therefore I hope Sir Robert Sinclair and you will return it me back with their Advice to him for signing of it, which is neither Illative to me of a greater Right, nor prejudicial to himself: Besides, I wish he would satisfy the Sums I really paid for these apprisings, which I purchased at his Desire, and I should most cheerfully state him in my Condition: I do press solely upon Sir Robert's Account, as retarding his Business, and besides I am loath to appear to undo that Structure, which I have been (not without Success) endeavouring to rear up; My Brother William will acquaint you with an Addition which I desired to be made to it; I did never state a Difference betwixt Sir Robert's Interest and my own, and I hope both Sir Robert Sinclair and you will acknowledge the same, you being eye Witness of my Carriage this last Winter, when Brouchtons' Remission was presented in Exchequer; I shall leave all to your Consideration, and shall say no more, but that I am,  
Sir, Your most Affectionate Friend to serve you, Sic Subscribitur, Stormet,

Sir, London, September 25. 1666.  
YEsternight I received yours, dated which is all I have had from you since my Brother John came here; And though I shall not offer any more to press you to sign that Ratification I sent you, leaving it Arbitrary to yourself, to do or not do as you shall think fittest, yet (besides that) it seems you absolutely distrust me, (which I wish you had expressed sooner) I shall, I suppose, satisfy these Reasons you adduce, which seem not to me to have that weight you lay upon them; For in the Contract of Wadset passed betwixt us, you have therein ratified Sir George Movats apprising, both as it stands, and as to its preference, which enervats that Hundred Thousand pounds' Bond as to that: And all I now desire is, ye do the like as to the rest of the apprisings I purchased; And though his be included in that paper, yet the Letter of Reversion I granted will free you from importing double payment of one and the same Sum; And, in that very Contract, you'll find the Warrandice the very same which is in the paper I sent you; Sir, I must tell you freely, that it seems you are now Jealous of this which is merely designed for my own Safety, being engaged in a Business full of Intricacies, to which you gave the first Rise; For (besides that it was your Desire, as I can make appear by your Letters) I was constrained to purchase these apprisings, for defending the Wadser I had from you, which, if pulled from me, would have imported a considerable prejudice upon yourself, and yet Pitscoties are insisting against me; I shall not offer to relat to you what, besides all this, you owe me, as notour to yourself, and I presume you will not say, that I ever declined any thing conducive to your Interest; And I ever designed, that my Brother John should have prosecute the Suit upon my Charges, (which is considerable, I presume, the property being yours) but seeing you are not pleased to do it, I shall not offer to create you any more Trouble upon this, only I am sorry you force me to that which I never designed: I intent (God willing) this next Week for Scotland, & yet to demonstrate to the World my unwillingness to relinquish you, if you shall be pleased to send over to my Brother John that paper signed as I sent it you, he shall wait upon you for prosecuting of our Interest, otherways you will be pleased to pardon me for taking another Course; And besides, I do ingenuously declare to you, I never did nor does design any thing to your prejudice, and I wish you meet with as little from others, in whom you seem to repose a greater Trust, I am,  
Sir, Your most obliged Cousin and Servant, Sic Subscribitur, Stormet.
