CCIV. Sir Edwin Sandys. A Letter to John Ferrar
December 3, 1621

Ferrar Papers
Document in Magdalene College, Cambridge. Autograph Letter, Signed
List of Records No. 282

Sr: This week, by the help of God, I intend to be wth yu: but it wilbe Satur-
day first: for we must make small iournies: my wife beeing the weakest
creature I suppose, that ever took such a iournie, at so unseasonable a
tyme. But such is hir hart, that she will not stay behynd me. At my
coming I shall give all my discreet frends satisfaction, that the cause of
my absence hetherto hath been iust & necessarie. I cannot sufficiently
prize the love of my frends there: who will not forsake me, though frowned
on by so great persons. And I would that to frowne on me were the
woorst they ment me. But God forgive the wrong dooers, & receive them
that are wronged into his protection: wch is my hope. I knowe not what
service I can doo there when I come: but my hart shalbe to doo the best.
But in another matter of service, the treatie between the East Indi litigants,
as the tymes now stand, my mynd giveth me that I could doo som good.
And if other men were of that opinion, I should willingly accept of the
service. Commend me I pray yu to Mr Barbor: whose desire I shall
satisfie: Excuse me to Mr Melling for not writing in this great haste:
I am glad that on Saturday I shall see him betymes. I should greatly
desire the like of yu: but that I dare not wthdraw yu from that high service
in hand. My weake wife salutes yu & Mris Ferrar wth much love: &
prayeth Francis Carter to deliver the enclosed to Mris Collier Valete: &
pray to God to prosper us in or dangerous iournie.

Yors ever
Edwin Sandys
Northborn 3 Decemb: 1621
[Indorsed:] Sr Edwin Sandys 3 Decemb̴ 1621 from Northborne
[Addressed by self:] To my very woorthie frend, Mr John Ferrar, at his
House in St Sithes Lane in London.
