final example... i'm basically trying to figure out who the main scribe is - i think it's a female hand, but i am basing this on nothing except for random instinct... but if it is then it is one of the signatories here... and i'm wondering if it's etheldred somehow...

I think it's from Aurea James, based on hand and squinting at scribbled out name! Here's the recto. If this is 26 Jan 1637 this is when she was in Mechelen with the other 3? Also might be significant when she's suggesting that any religious at Brussels could be chosen to translate letter for her...

E.g.
En Suite Double Double Bed
En suite Double Double Bed (Book Early and Save Bb) [-whaaat?]
En suite Double Double Bed (Click Travel-travel Perk Bb) [????]
En Suite Double Double Bed (Best Corporate Rate Bb) [so confused]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bvlggccpcxc34yrjazt3gmhx/bafkreig6fnvc774dhkqlvtzmgtpwuduvh4ne6bpa7vao4tktglyj46imyi@jpeg)
