LETTER XCI.

To my master Sir Robart Plompton, knight, at Plompton.

In my right humble and harty wyse I recomend me unto your
good mastership, and to my singular good lady. The ix day of
February I received your wrytting, the which was to me great
comforth. The contents therof was moved to my lord Prive seal
afore that, by Percyvall Lambeton, as he shewed to me, and as he
hath wrytten to you the scanty in every thing of my lords mynd
in that behalfe; the which, me semeth, right good and necessary
for you. And yt pleaseth you, when my lord cometh into your
country, to se him, and ride a myle or ij with him, and wellcome
him to the country; yt will doe good many wayes. Sir, afore
credaunce of Ewene Barle, he gave none to me but for these pre-
myses, and that, I thinke, nedeth no more labour nor cost; for when
my sayd lord answered reasonable therin, yt sufficeth for the
same. Also I send herin an byll of discharg for your fine, and I
wold I myght have content the same fyne at the last terme, [but I
spared for the more advauntage,] for ye payd none syth Trenetie
terme unto now. And your owne, and ever wylbe, to my power,
as knoweth our Lord, who ever preserve you and yours in pros-
perous long tyme to endure. From Furnywalls Inn, the xiij of
Februray.

Your humble servant, ED. PLOMPTON.
