SOLUTION TO LAST MONTH'S CRYPTOGRAM:



Our humbleness has led us, now and at other times, to beseech your highness more devoutly so that, having God and public decency in sight, you would take pains to cease from our persecution and the disturbance of the people of our kingdom in order that devastation and the spilling of a neighbour's blood may henceforth stop

Translated from Latin from a recently discovered letter from Robert the Bruce to Edward the Second
