GOOD NEPHEW,

I cannot see but that you have returned a good answeare, to which if any reply should followe I would have you persist and stand it out untill your time of mourninge be over; and then se what you shall do in that kinde (as things stand at this present) let it flowe from your owne free choice and the affeccion you bore the deceased, without any other respect whatsoever. It will not be amiss for you to be very cautious what you write, for words written continue, sometimes, to stand as testimony against theire master, be it by way of deniall or complyinge with the petitioner's request, seeinge I so finde it written. It shall not be longe e'er I see you. I am very sorry to heere my nephew James is so ill. So I rest.

Your affectionate uncle
JAMES OXINDEN

4 Sept. 1640

be confident I will keepe all safe
