The Lord blesse thee and all our family, and send vs a happy meetinge. I kisse thee and rest thy faithfull husband

I pray present my humble thanks to my brother. I was euer born to after witt, ells I should not haue parted with my brother without some refreshment for his Journie. I hope I shall haue more wit next time for it hath troubled me more then a little that I neclected it: but indeed I was confident of a day or 2 more. Your sister to seru you humble
