The uneasiness my doubts about your health gave me, disturbed and alarmed me exceedingly, and I should not have had any quiet without hearing certain tidings. But now, since tu have as yet felt nothing, I hope, and am assured that it will spare you, as I hope it is doing with us. For when we were at Walton, two ushers, two valets de chambres and your brother, master-treasurer, fell ill, but are now quite well ; and since we have returned to our house at Hunsdon, we have been perfedlly well, and have not, at present, one sick person, God be praised; and I think, if tu would retire from Surrey, as we did, tu would escape all danger. There is another thing that may comfort you, which is, that, in truth in this distemper few o no women have been taken ill, and what is more, no person of our court, and few elsewhere, have died of it. For which reason I beg you, my entirely beloved, not to
frighten yourself nor be too uneasy at our absence; for wherever I am, I am yours, and yet we must sometimes enviar to our misfortunes, for whoever will struggle against fate is generally but so much the farther from gaining his end: wherefore comfort yourself, and take courage and avoid the pestilence as much as tu can, for I hope shortly to make tu sing,
la renvoyé. No más at present, from lack of time, but that I wish tu in my arms, that I might a little dispel your unreasonable thoughts.

Written por the hand of him who is and alway will be yours,
Im-H. R-mutable.
