 worshipfull Master Henrie Lane Agent at 

 Colmogro, written in Vologda the 31. of 

 !557- Januarie 1557. 



"Orshipfull Sir, heartie commendations premised. 

 These may bee to advertise you, that yesterday 

 the thirtieth of this present came hither Robert Best, 

 and brought with him two hundred robles, that is, 

 one hundred for this place, and one hundred for you 

 at Colmogro. As for hempe which is here at two 

 robles and a halfe the bercovite, master Gray hath 

 John Sedge- written to buy no more at that price : for John 

 wick at Sedgewicke hath bought for sixe or seven hundred 

 robles worth at Novogrode for one roble and a 

 halfe the bercovite, and better cheape : and white Novo- 

 grode flaxe is there at three robles the bercovite. I 

 trust hee will doe much good by his going thither. 

 As I doe understand, Richard Johnson is gone to 

 Novogrode with money to him, I doubt not but 

 Master Gray hath advertised you of all their doings, 

 both at the Mosco and at Novogrod. And touching 

 our doings heere, you shall perceive that wee have 

 solde wares of this fourth voyage for one hundred and 

 fourtie robles, besides fiftie robles of the second and 

 third voyage since the giving up of my last account, 

 and for wares of the Countrey, you shall understand
