1569. Sept19. ‘*Good Sir John. Harty thanks for your sendings. These 
are to pray you to remember your haste of my platt: that thereafter I may pro- 
vide for windowes and such things necessary. My tower is down. LEasyer it 
is, you will say as truth, to pull down then set up, but better is it and more 
safety when the tymber is rotten, to pull down, lest it fall; as that was allto- 
gether gon and the very iron of the windowes consumed in the middest. 
Have returned back your rogue with thanks: Also for him and by hima 
couple of pastyes of red deer according your desyre. Thus harty comendacions 
to your Lady remembered, I leave you to God. In hast from Wollf haull this 
19 of Sept. 1569. 
; Y'. loving frend 
EH, Herrrorp.”

Sir Jo. Thyn. Harty comendations remembered. I send you your desired 
case of daggs [ pistols] with their furniture. They are good of proof double 
chardge as your man can tell you. I send you also a book dedicated to the 
Rebells as well and as pithily penned as I ever red any, wrytten per Thomas 
Norton my old scolemaster. I know yow will lyke it very well, but the oftener 
you reade it the better. Our newes, thanked be God, that the Rebells are fled, 
but the certainty is not yet known. 
The French newes are very good, for the Amirall is growen very strong, & in 
the night soudenly without noyse of drommes foyled diverse of the Kings power, 
the King himself hardly escaping by tlight. 
Vale and comend me to your Lady. Wollfhaull this xxiiij hord decima 1569. 
Y. lov. fr. 
E, HERTFORD.”

“¢ Emanuel. 
For 8 Jo. Thin. These are to challenge you for not visiting me from Sarum. 
I now stand in need of your healp &, in your absence, of your man’s—Lewes— 
about my middle garden house which whether be best to be in square, round, 
or cant order, I am doubtfull, therefore do reserve to your judgement, by letter 
and by him. 
I pray send by him the platt of my house devine by you & Omphrey Lovell. 
Touching Tottenham Lodge, where you know the buttry was devised behind 
the kitchin I have altered & will have it under the hawle (the ground being 
digged 7 foot under for stowadge of my wine’and beer). And that which should 
have been the pastry [i.e., pantry] shall be the butcher’s office. 

* A common heading to letters in those days.
