Thomas Hollinshead to his father, 2 June 1703

Thomas opens with the hope that his father's back pain is better, if not gone. The rest of the letter explains Thomas' several trips, days of work and negotiation in legal business, and he was unable to work because of the nature of some of these encounters. He continues to be concerned about his lack of money. He has excused himself from a funeral.
