GOOD NEPHEWE,

Comminge downe from London in the coatch with Mr. Richardson, amonge other discourse we fell in talke of your pewes in Denton, hee saying that he thought it convenient I should write to Sir Natha: Brent; which I am resolved to do if you approve of it, but beinge your busines I thought it unfitt to stirr untill I had acquaynted you therewith, so that if it please you to come over to me tomorrowe you shall see my letter.

Pray come to dinner, when I beleive you shall meete the leiutenant of Dover Castle, when you may begin you acquayntance with him. So in hast I rest

Your affectionate Uncle
JAMES OXINDEN

2d June. 1637

Pray commend my services to my sister and my neice
