Dear Sir
I have perused y^e Copy of that Deed, & am of opinion you
are [illeg] by y^e fine, & Recovery mentioned, if you {?doubt} of it
M^r Hooper can best satisfy you, being a neighbour. Lord Keepers
alterations in y^e order (I think) are to your advantage, I read
it this morning & was promised by M^r Davenport it should
be forth with {?entered}, which you may let y^e Colonel know.
There's great talk of a peace, & marriage, y^e King meets y^e Elective
of Brandenburg at {?Kew} &c too other Ladys are likewise in
discurses about y^e Town. The wind hinders y^e foreign {?Letters}
& can’t be expected before Tuesday, therefore y^e Parliament sitting [deleted] {^not}
be known, but an early session is expected, which you must
provide for in time, to defend your right. M^r Sherwood's daugh=
=ters at Hifield, M^r Trefusis gone in to Wales; Sir Honorable Ashurst
came from there lately, left all well & M^rdaughter [illeg], as he tells me. I am glad you intend to be at
y^e office, where I desire y^e sender of humble service to all friends
& mine & wife's to all with you being
Sir
Your affectionately
H Boscawen
