The heading, "A note of all suche wintar deare as weare slayne from the 28th of sept[em]b[er] 1578 in the greate parke of Elthame by warrant or without", is followed by six entries. Mention of "my master" suggests that Hatton himself is not the author.

The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford, and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. It derives its name from its founder, Sir Thomas Bodley. With over 13 million printed items, it is the second-largest library in Britain after the British Library. It is one of six legal deposit libraries for works published in the United Kingdom, and under Irish law it is entitled to request a copy of each book published in the Republic of Ireland. Known to Oxford scholars as "Bodley" or "the Bod", it operates principally as a reference library and, in general, documents may not be removed from the reading rooms.
