Excerpt from Correspondence of Sir Patrick Waus of Barnbarroch, Knight, Vol. 1: Parson of Wigtown; First Almoner to the Queen; Senator of the College of Justice; Lord of Council, and Ambassador to Denmark; 1540-1584

In the spring of the year 1845 I was applied to by a lady, who claimed descent from the family of Young of Seton, to search among old papers believed to exist at Barnbarroch for any letters from Sir Peter Young of Seton, who had been Ambassador to Denmark with the Laird of Barnbarroch in 1587. Not having at that time learned to read the ancient writing, my search was not an exhaustive one; but I found several letters from Sir Peter Young on the subject of the Embassy; and having noticed some letters with the signatures of some of the principal historical characters of the time, I got a few of them transcribed. The fee I had to pay for the work done deterred me from employing similar assistance on a large scale, and I resolved to teach myself to read the old documents, that I might judge what there was among the family papers worthy of publication.

The quantity of material was alarming; I felt that one man's lifetime would not suffice to master it all, but I made a beginning, and after having transcribed indiscriminately what at the first glance seemed to be interesting, I resolved to limit my work to private letters, and afterwards to those addressed to one ancestor only, Sir Patrick Waus, whose career embraced the latter half of the sixteenth century. For many years I have occupied my leisure in copying these old papers, and the task has been a labour of love.
