"Thomas
Miller,
gent.
sent
in
haste
by
special
commandment
of
Sir
Francis
Walsingham,
throughout
all
the
postes
of
Kent
to
warn
and
to
order,
both
with
the
posts
for
an
augmentation
of
the
ordinary
number
of
horses
for
the
packet,
and
with
the
countries
near
them
for
a
supply
of
twenty
or
thirty
horses
a-piece
for
the
'throughe
posts,'
during
the
service
against
the
Spanish
navy
by
sea,
and
the
continuance
of
the
army
by
land."
Again,
in
31st
Elizabeth,
special
or
"extraordinary"
posts
were
laid
between
London
and
Rye,
upon
unwelcome
news
arriving
from
France,
"and
for
the
more
speedy
advertisement
of
the
same."
"Thomas
Miller,
gent.
sent
at
Easter,
1597,
to
lay
the
posts
and
likest
landing
places
either
in
Kent
or
Sussex,
upon
intelligence
given
of
some
practices
intended
against
the
Queen's
person."
Mr.
Miller
seems
to
have
judged
Rye
to
be
the
"likest
landing
place"
for
the
purpose,
and,
returning,
"received
seven
pound
for
his
services."
Other
extraordinary
posts
were
often
laid
down
between
Hampton
Court
and
Southampton
and
Portsmouth,
for
the
"more
speedy
advertisement"
of
occurrences
from
the
ports
of
Normandy
and
Bretaigne.
