That which then I omitted, I must endeavour to supplye att this Tyme in my entreatyes to yow to send mee word when it will 103bee and where; If yow please to send now or att any other Tyme any lettres to one mr. Churchill a Cuttler neere Holborne Cunditt, they will bee Conveyed to mee; This Carier comes out of London Tuesday morninge. It had beene an excellent Tyme for mr.
