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 bạn 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 bạn would retire from Surrey, as we did, bạn would escape all danger. There is another thing that may comfort you, which is, that, in truth in this distemper few hoặc 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 đệ trình 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 bạn can, for I hope shortly to make bạn sing,
la renvoyé. No thêm at present, from lack of time, but that I wish bạn in my arms, that I might a little dispel your unreasonable thoughts.

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