yearly Rent they are to pay from Lady Day last past it was agreed should
be settled when you should meet my Fath^E. there; by this Paym^t. of Rent for
y^e Time Past my Fat^E. sais they are absolutely brought into subjection, so yt
they may be dealt with hereafter as shall be thought convenient, We were
very glad to heare yt you had been at Winkle on Saturday before, concluding
yt you were in some Measure recovered of yE dangerous Misfortune, w^ch.
