Dear Sir

kingsman M^r Wolacomb, had encouraged his remove from
from Tregoney, promising great assistance in yê way of living
in yê world, but doth not now find that kindness from him,
he had reason to expect, for which I am very sorry, & desire
you would please to speak to him, with yê welfare of one
of his family, which will be much to his commendation
the scarcity of money (for public use) begins to increase &
no little difficulty for private persons & wife's service is promised you &
my daughter by yê hand of Sir your affectionate
humble servant H Boscawan
