GOOD NEPHEW,
This afternoon being Tuesday notice was given me by my sister Patrich that Mr. Hunt of Goodneston died on Sunday night last, whereupon I went to them, and about sixe of the clocke my brother came home, so it was resolved betweene us that I should goe to my Lord Saye's[1] Secretary, to prepare a peticion to his Lordship, which I did, and have desired him to make stay of any suters that shall come in the meane time. I cannot say what end the busines will have, yet we hope well, but sure t'is fit my nephew James do presently come up, that he may see how the busines is carried. I think few dayes will put an end to it, and therefore hasten him all you can up. I and my Cosin Barrowe[2] last Munday met with Mr. Broke, Adam's master, with whom we have ended the business concerning my Cosin Adam,[3] more whereof you shall heare the next time I write to you, only this much I will tell your mother, that he is resolved to goe to sea and I hope will get a good place, so I rest
Your lovinge uncle
