Buckstones, wheare havinge receaved noe healpe is growne

home is not able to adventure the iorneye eyther
on horsebacke or in a coache. Whearfore I am humblie
to desyre your Ladieshippe to lende her your horselitter
& furniture, that ^by^ your Ladishippes good meanes she
may salflie goe home. Thus hopinge of your Ladieshippes
favour, in this bothe I & my wife in anye service we
