I returne yow many thanks for your great love and hearty intertaynement of my Brother the ten pounds you desired me to pay for his board I payd to your brother Downing, and think it litle enough if not to litle as things are with you for the present, and must acknowledg my selfe your debtor for your Care and paynes with him. the account yow sent I have perused and cast it up together with my disbursment and those of Sir Richards Saltonstalls which I have added to myne haveing repayd him what he layd out for stones 10li and Brasse, and fraught of the stones with some other small things as when I send yow the accompt will appeare, soe that if I be not mistaken the accompt will be somewhat over, but for the present I conceive a mistake in the Casting up of your account, which because I could not tell How to rectifie I resolved by mr. Downings advise to send yow backe your owne Coppy, and to keep an other my selfe, which his man hath written out for me soe that when yow se your owne hand you may be the better able to sett it straight. I have sent over some frute trees and some grape Cuttings, the best I could gett. if you like any of the grapes yow may take what yow please of them. I pray advise what I were best doe with my trees I shall be larger next time. remember me kindly to my Cosen your wife soe with my hourely prayers I rest your ever loving Cosen
