GOOD COSIN,

I consave Doctor Randalls Coors to be good, especially a pon this thaw and releasing of the wether; but if this coors fayll, it followeth not that therfor there is any other daynger then not so speedy an amendment as els ther woldbe; for in shuch cases many times bodyes com not to be in Right temper in a good whill, especially at this tyme of the year; it was not likly from the beginning but my neec' wold have a tedius siknes but I hop not dayngerus, with such good meanes as you use, ther for I pray be not dismayed. I am sorry my Nec' is ill in a time when I can be no more helpfull to her by reson of my yong horses and the bad wether. I cawth shuch an extrem cowld as I cam hom, with being frited with the coch hors, that I came out of the coch and cawght cowld and have bin ill of my head and my throt, els I had bin with you yesterday, and so soon as I dare stir out of dores I will com and se her; in the mean time I pray let mee heer how you prosed and shall be glad that in anything a may be helpfull to her and redy to aprove myself to you both

Your affectionat loving Ant to her power M.O.
