John Chamberlain wrote to Sir Dudley Carleton on August 11th,
1612 --
The widow Countess of Rutland died about ten days ago and
is privately buried in Pauls, by her father Sir Philip Sidney. Sir
Walter Ralegh is slandered to have given her certain pills that
dispatched her.
So August 1st, 1612 -- give or take a day?
