BROTHER RICHARD,

Though I have smale time at this present to rite, yet out of my love I could not but give you notice of a dutie you have neglected, that is to write to my father. I have herd him often speake of you, and marvell much that paper and inke should in London be so scarse as in this time not to afford him one sheete; faile him not the next weeke though you followe it. I dare say it will be very welcome; t's a token of great love in a father to be so desierous to here from his child. Thus hopinge you will not let slip opportunitie I rest

Thy loving brother

JAMES OXINDEN

From Wingham
This 11 of May 1607
