Sir, understanding by this bearer that my horse is well recovered
I would desire you that he might be sent me by him, I would
have come to have seen you before this but that I had hurt
my foot that I could not pull on a boot, but now God be
thanked it is so well that if you would send me word
where you would hunt I should strain it a little to see
a buck killed, Thus with my kindest remembrance to
yourself & your bedfellow I commit you to the Almighty
Pillaton Hall this present Wednesday.
your assured friend
to his power
Edward Littleton
