CCLXII. Sir Edwin Sandys. A Letter to John Ferrar
October 13, 1622

Ferrar Papers

List of Records No. 368

Sr: This last night at 11. my Ladie Wyatt, wth manie other of hir frends
& train, took ship; as they were waighing anchor to be gone. The Secretarie
& his wife are also gone: who came hether so late, that they were in greate
likelihood to have been left behynd. ffor boisterous Captain Each would
not have stayed for anie.

But whereas at yor desire, & in manner by yu directed, I had caused two
Quarters of Seed wheat, in chaffe, & eares, to be provided & packed up
in 8 Barrells bored with holes for that purpose; & whereas yu had written
that the Captain should call for them: he was so farr from that, that no
entreatie could prevaile to get him to take in anie one of the Barrells;
neither yet anie thing else in Barrells here provided for my brother George.


691

Only a Rundlet of Sack sent to him from my wife, wth som other things of
small bulk; & a Seller of glasses wth hote waters sent to him from my
Ladie Aucher, he yielded to take in. So that we pray yu very earnestly to
take sure order by yor Seaflower (to wch Captain Each put us over, as
beeing to foloe him immediately;) that at their coming to the Downes
these things here may be called for. ffor it is pittie they should be kept
from them & thence, to whom & whether great want would make them so
wellcome.

Though my house §have§ beein full in a manner all this last week, wth
my Ladie Wyatt & hir train, & other frends going to Virginia: yet have
I not neglected, (as far as the manners & regards of hospitalitie would
permitt me,) to perform my Duetie toward Virginia in generall, & toward
Southampton & Martins Hundred in particular, as farr as my advice,
requests, & persuasions, by woord, & writing, may prevaile.

Amongst other of my letters, I have caused a copie to be taken of two,
(wch herewth I send yu) because they may be of som use to the Companie,
if those points hereafter shall com in debate. The Copie of yor remem-
brances (wch were exceeding good,) I sent & commended wth great earnest-
nes to my brother George: having set som marks of them wch I thought
most necessarie. I commended also yor pains in them to the Governor.
But the Companies letters I only saw. They beeing shewed me to late to
read them.

My poore wife groweth still worse & weaker, beeing wasted wth the often
fitts of hir tormenting pains. I dare not venter her up, wthout continuall
attendance of hir Peysitian: For whom I have now sent. So that this
week, if God send life yu may expect us.

I would my L. Treasuror might knowe, wth what disease to my self I com
hasten up, to obey his pleasure.

ffor I come up in the tyme of receiving my Rents, & before I can get them.
I leve a multitude of woorkmen in all parts of my dir house, without
oversight, account, or direction. my yonger sons I am in preparing to
put out to schoole: but yet not doon. In sum I never took more pains
in my life, nor never shall leve things in greater confusion. But the tor-
ments & danger of my wife, exceedeth all other grief.


692

Yet seeing he summoneth me up so often & so earnestly, I will hasten
wthall speed possible.

Yor last close of the desperate state of Virginia if I knew all, dooth trowble
me exceedingly. I pray yu desire Mr Melling to write to me at large by
my footman; that I may meditate in the way what coorses to take.

Desire Mr Carter to take order wth Mris Bueket, that the little chamber
over against §my wifes chamber, may be made clene, & ayred on Thursday
evening §& afterward.§ So in hast, I rest

Yors assured,
Edwin Sandys
