Beaton writes to his correspondent as a result of the incursions by King Henry VIII into Scotland, 'Quia de incursionibus Ab Anglorum rege, contra sereniss[imum] et ill[ustrissi]mu[m]. Regum, Do[min]um meu[m], eiusq[u]e regnu[m], illatis ad S[anctissimum] D[ominum] N[ostrum] in p[raese]ntia scribo; ex eisdemq[ue] literis D[etermi]nationem V[estram] R[everendissimam] omnia ad plenu[m] intellecturam esse confido, nihil hoc tempore ad illa[m] scribed[m] esse putavi.

The battle took place at Solway Moss on the Anglo-Scottish border on 24th November 1542. When King Henry VIII of England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, he asked King James V of Scotland, his nephew, to do the same. James rejected his uncle's request and further insulted him by refusing to meet at York. As a result, King Henry VIII displayed his anger by sending troops against Scotland. In retaliation for the massive English raid into Scotland King James responded by assigning Robert, Lord Maxwell, with the task of raising an army and on 24th November 1542 an army of 15,000 - 18,000 Scots advanced into England and were met near Solway Moss by Thomas Wharton and his 3000 men. The ensuing battle was uncoordinated and has been described as a rout. Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589), Italian Cardinal and Diplomat. Letters signed by Cardinal Beaton are extremely rare. American Book Prices Current have no records of any autograph material by Beaton appearing at auction.

Of Australian Transportation Interest.:, recently come to light from an old coin collection. A copper Transportation token for William Wilcox and Jane Wilcox, named as per title over dove, sun, moon and initials 'WW' above an image of a standing rigged ship, obverse, crown flanked by initials 'WW' over verse 'Remember O How Happy I Shall Be When I Get My Liberty', with the word 'Love' inscribed over two doves, 35mm diameter, 2.8mm thick. *Notes- Known as either 'Transportation Tokens', 'Convict Tokens' or 'Leaden Hearts' these small personal and emotional tokens were given by convicts transported to Australia as a memento to family or loved ones left behind. They were made by both amateur and professional engravers by smoothing over a coin and stippling the decoration. The National Museum of Australia holds the world's largest collection of convict tokens.* Note William Wilcox was given a life sentence of Transportation at Stafford Assizes and was transported along with 256 other convicts aboard the Triton which set sail from England on 4th August 1842, arriving at Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) 19th December 1842.
