GOOD NEPHUE,

My marsh man was with me tuesday last and tells me that your haye is ready, and desires that you would out of hand send for it; there wilbe three great loades of it as he sayes, and a neigh[bour] of his will helpe you carry one loade if you please; I finde the reason is because he hath bight 2 dozen of wattles besides you and so would have you pay for his carriage so far, which if it be so there is no question but (if you hire your waggon) he will do it somwhat cheaper than another: this I promised him to acquaynt you with all. So with my harty love to my good sister and yourselfe

I rest
Your affectionate uncle
JAMES OXINDEN

13 July 1631
