Thomas Hollinshead to his brother-in-law, Mr Stanley, 25 November 1704.
Thomas agrees with his brother-in-law that there should be not strangeness between them. Though he would like to visit as soon as he can, the work his father has asked him to conduct means he has no leisure for anything. His father has asked that he meet him on the road when he returns.
