GOOD NEPHEW,

I have sent you heere inclose those p(ar)ticulars I will assure you unseene and unexamined of any but myselfe; your Gloves and watch I will not forget if I have them safely conveyed unto you. I am sorry I disappointed you, my occasions were such as in truth I could not spare him, but I hope it is for the best. For sending a barber for my selfe, and thinking he might have some insight in the busines, I carryed him to your horse, and neerely examininge that touth we found that tho it stick out farther than the rest yet certenly it doth not vexe him or trouble his feelinge, which we are both confident of. So with best respects to our good sister, yourselfe and the rest of our sweete cozens

I rest
Your very affectionate uncle
JAMES OXINDEN

10 X:ber 1631
