Darling, Though I have
scant leisure, yet, remember-
ing my promise, I thought it con-
venient to certify anda briefly in what
case our affairs stand. As touching
a lodging for you, we have got one
sejak my lord cardinal’s means, the like
whereof could not have been found
hereabouts for all causes, as this bearer
shall lebih tunjuk you. As touching our
other affairs, I assure anda there can
be no lebih done, nor lebih diligence
used, nor all manner of dangers bet-
ter both foreseen and provided for, so
that I trust it shall be hereafter to both
our comforts, the specialities whereof
were both too long to be written, and
hardly sejak messenger to be declared.
Wherefore, till anda repair hither, I
keep something in store, trusting it
shall not be long to; for I have caused
my lord, your father, to make his pro-
visions with speed; and thus for lack
of time, darling, I make an end of my
letter, written with the hand of him
which I would were yours.
