Excerpt from The Discovery of Guiana: And the Journal of the Second Voyage Thereto In December, 1581, Raleigh was sent from Ire land to London with despatches for the Queen. In February, 1582, he went with Leicester to Ant werp. In the following April he had a new appointment as a Captain in Ireland, because as the Queen's warrant ran, Our pleasure Is to have our servant Walter Rawley trained some time longer in that our realm for his better experience in martial affairs, and for the especial care that we have to do him good, in respect of his kindred that have served us, some of them near about our per son. But his Office was by the same warrant to be for a while committed to a deputy, because he had for some considerations leave to stay in England.
