Mr. winwood. I suppose you will have vnderstood of my misfortune before this letter
com vnto your handes. or howsoever, I had rather you should know yt by any boddy
then by my self. Though my fortune be vnlikely to afford you that requytall which your
paines, faith & love towards me hath deserved, yet I doubt not but the proofe you
have made of your work and sufficiency in the charge you have held there, will raise
you vp freends that will supply my defect & disabillyty. whereof I shall be as glad as
of any good that may happen to my self.
your letter by Simons I receaved vpon my way at Rochester. Since that I have bin in
trouble & hard nothing. But I am commanded by Mr. Secretary to write vnto you to
continue your charge, till her matie. take some other order for the supplying of the
place I held there. And for my self I am licenced to dissolve my familie there. which
gives me ocasion to be troublesom vnto you and to desire you to take som paines
and care for me this once more, & to adde extremam manum to all your former
kindnes. first my desire is that you should take account for me both of my steward &
richard hauthorne of all such monny as they have receaved & disbursed since their
last account made to me at my comming from Paris, wherevnto you shall find my
hand at the foote of the account. and with the overplus I pray you see the butcher &
rotisseur discharged & any thinge els that is owing there, yf any there be. next I pray
you pay vnto Stallin him self 100 crownes for his wages for five quarters of a yeere.
for till Christmas was a twelvemoneth I paid him all that was due, before I cam away.
This don I pray you call to hauthorne for a letter I wrote vnto him in August or
September last, wherein I appointed him to sell away som part of my stuffe, and let
the contents of that letter be performed in every point. only I pray you to do me the
pleasure to have som oversight of the dooing of yt & to take the monny into your
handes that is made of yt. The rest of the stuffe I left there (besides that I appoint to
be sold) and likewise all that I sent over last with hammon to be sent for England
except there be any thinge that you may have use of for your self, which I am very
willing you shall retaine. The provisions likewise wch I either left or sent over, either
of spice, sugr grocery ware wine lights or such like may be sold away saving what
you will reserve for your self. And ? the howse discharged & my people with the
stuffe sent by water to Rouen, & from thence the directest way for England. And
because yt may perhaps be long ere there be any good commodyty of passage from
rouen by water, yf yt be not to chargeable I would yt were conveyed overland from
rouen to deepe & so shipped for dover in som safe passage, because there is matter
of charge of the queenes plate & mine owne, among yt I would pray you also to
cause the tronke or chest to be opened, wherein the plate is that I left at Paris, and
to take out the monny which you find in yt, which is better then thirty pownd, &
reserve it for your owne use, & so make vp the chest safe againe & send yt wth the
rest of the stuffe.. yf you deliver any monny for the charges of my people & my
stuffes bringing home I pray you give yt to Hammon to account for at his returne.
now because you may have som certainty to charge my two servaunts vpon their
accounts, you shall vnderstand that besides that I left with them, hawthorne by this
inclosed note of his owne hand, sent me in october last, confesseth the receit of
63(?) crownes & a franke. Since that Stallin receaved of mr. willaston 50li sterling
when he likewise receaved other 50 li for young H Savile. And now since againe mr.
Bashe hath delivered me this inclosed reckoning wherein he chargeth vpon them
175li—2s sterling as paid vnto them and disboursed for the fraight of my stuffe which
in all coms to — 359li—2s. Besides that I left in Stallins hands & to be receaved by
him presently from mr. willaston at my comming aware Stallin allso wrote me that he

was to receave for the impost of my wine, of mine host of Orleans 92 crownes when
you have taken their accounts I pray you send them me inclosed in a packet directed
to my wife. I am ashamed to put you to this trouble. But where I am so much
beholden allready, I will not refuse(?) to be(?) beholden so much more heereafter I
pray you direct your letters to Mr. Secretary and not to me. God keepe you, and send
you that fortune and good acceptacion that I know you are worthy of. from my lord
Admiralls howse at Chelsey, where I am in a very honnorable prison, the 5th. of
March 1600

I send you heerewith an Inventary
which Hawthorn sent me of the goods
that were left there. the rest that cam
thither since, Hammon hath a note of
But it makes not so much matter for
any inventary of that. for that must all
come backe, but the provision only.

Your very loving and thankefull freend
for all your paines.
Henry Neuill
