Salutem in Christo.
My verye good Lord
I would your honourable office of Knightinge your neighbours wear at an end. I have in the particulars whearwith you have trusted me more Causes then one to wish your presence heare; yett I see Contrarye to hope I must expect it longer. The busynes for Dr Carr stands as it did, and cannot possiblye proceed farther till your Comminge. I have onlye blocked up the Citye of Durham soe, as that I hope noe other entrye shall be made against us. Thear's but One feare, thoughe another be threatned. Thiss onlye, you maye peradventure loose the busines bye your staye, and I presume the Kings service is at an ende by thiss tyme.
Your Lordship sends me worde, I may guess at hime that in love to you hath advised you to be warye against the next parlament. I thinke I doe not mistake, and I have guessed at hime in mye selfe, and if I be right I shall make good use of it, as well for mye frends as myeselfe. And I hope when you Come, your Lordship will tell me wheather I have guessed right or noe.
Mye Lord thiss is all I have yett to wright, and I was purposed to give you noe such broken answear, but Expect ether your selfe, or your larger Leters which you threaten; but seeinge nether, I tooke thiss advantage of Mr Wansfords love and have from mye Chamber in Court scribled these fewe lynes to lett you knowe, that I am hartelye glad of the peace: that I remaine in health, and gladd to heare of yours: And that as your love hath deserved of me I shall assuredlye rest
Your Lordshipps most affectionat frend and servant
