SIR JAMES OXINDEN TO MRS KATHERINE OXINDEN

[MS 27,999. f. 130]

XLVIII

GOOD SISTER,

I have talked with your son Richard aboute his returne to his master, who I find very unwillinge, insomuch that if I had gone up to that end I doubt my iorny had bin to noe purpose.I should be glad for his father's sake to use all my endeavours to do him good, but me thinkes I find his conceyt so set upon a new master that what shall be done to that end wilbe altogeather lost; theirefore if he continue still in this minde, you must thinke of a new course, that is a new master, for him, which I doubt will cost a good summe of mony and a longe time of treatinge, both with his old master to gett in his Indentures and to settle him with the new. I cannot express that I would in my letter, therefore if my Nephewe Harry will meete me tomorrowe at Canterbury in the afternoone we will confer about this busines. So hartely commending myselfe to you and all yours

I rest
Your very affectionate brother
JAMES OXINDEN
