For want of other matter to write of I thought fitt to put you in mind of your promise that you would see vs againe within a yeare; and nowe I must tell you that it were good you did come if you expect your hundred pounds from my brother Paynter, for I doe not perceiue that they make account to paye it; and if you come you may see your fathers busines setled with Mr. Tindall; who as I heare hath purchased some land to the value of about threescore pounds a yeare at Codenham in Suff olk nowe if my sister likes well of her beinge in New Engl: I knowe noe reason whie she should desire to laye out monie vpon any more land here; being soe remote from that place where she meanes to settle herselfe and her posteritie; should I come and liue there, as I desire to doe if god lend me life, and health; I should not wish to haue any of my estate remayninge here; but here in I must check my selfe in that I giue councell and advice before I am called thereto; howe soeuer I should be glad these occasions might cause you to make a visit of vs here; for many of your frinds would be glad to see you which would be a meanes to encorage some to remoue hence to your plantation. It would be noe disadvantage to you for you to spend a winter here, when as you may retorne the begininge of the springe; Soe for this tyme with my loue to your selfe and your wife, my cosen Feakes and his wife my cosen Dudley and his wife; Mr. Dudley Mr. Pincheon and Mr. Nowell; Mr. Wells and Mr. Wilson, Mr. Collier Mr. Staughton and Mr. Samford I take leaue and rest your very louinge vncle

I heerwith send you the catalogue of this vernall mart 1633 packed with some small things which my sister Downeinge sendeth, and I am still in your debt some monies which I expect aduise from you how to dispose of. the some I wrote you in an accompt per Mary Downeinge. for newes we haue little only we heare from Germany that a great battell was fought neer vnto Nice, for it was about to be beseiged had not this battell prevented it, wherin the Duke of saxony got the day, but with the losse of his generall Arneham: but the aduersary Walestein was slayne there with a great number of his Comanders also we hear that the prince of Orange hath taken Rhyne Berck.
