I read the title of a book lying on the Cupboard table
in your parlor which is the description of Great Britain
you are now going to London where they are to be
sold. I pray you let me have it at the price you
bought it or shall buy an other. or at least lend
it me till I may send for one of my own.

Blithfield
28 April 1621
yours assured
Walter Bagot
