Sr. Beeing commaunded by her matie. to prepare my self to serve as her
ambassador in france, where your long Compliment [deleted: & experience, hath]
hath gained you both knowledge of the affaires & reputation, I [deleted: am bold
both] assure my self both in respect of the common end of our imploiments tending
to the service of her matie, & [deleted: vpon confidence] of that ingenuyty & naturall
courtesy which all men command in you, that I shall find all good correspondence in
you, that is fit to be betweene her maties: ministers yet notwithstanding, I thinke yt my
part to make yt my particular sute & request vnto you, as a matter whereby not only
her maties. affaires shall receave advancement, but my self [deleted: shallbe] allso a
particular obligacion. And for that purpose, having determined to send over this
bearer my Steward, to provide me of a convenient howse & other necessaries
against my comming, I thought good by these few lines to salute you & to contract
acquaintance & amitie with you; which I shallbe further ready to increase by all the
good offices I may, either at my comming or before yf you please to vse mee. And
further to commend my said Steward vnto you, praying your freendly advice &
direction, in such matters as he shall stand in neede of yt. The rest I reserve till my
comming which I suppose willbe about the beginning or middle of february. And in
the meane time with offer of all the best offices I am able to perfourme towards you, I
take my leave. from the court the of december 1598

Your very assured freend
& at your commaundment
