CCCLXXIII. Sir Edwin Sandys. A Letter to the Lord Treasurer
Middlesex[292]
June 19, 1623
Papers of Lord Sackville, No. 6207
Document at Knole Park, Kent
I have understood from Sir Arthur Ingram of your Lordship's most noble
favour towards me unto his Majestie in procuring my libertie to return to
the cittie, both to the comfort and help of my distressed wife in hir health
and for the ordering of my owne important busines, which so honorable
favour, as I acknowledge with all due and possible thankfullnes, so shall
I rest ever obliged to be answerable for the same, with the [torn] and
faithfullest services that the meannes of my abilities may extend unto.
But my good Lord, give me leve (knoweing that in noble and generous
natures, one favour or benefit dooth often draw on another) give me leve,
I say, my good Lord, to renue unto your lordship my much elder suite,
which it pleased your Lordship to entertain with much approbation, and to
comfort me in it with your noble promise that your Lordship would be
pleased to take tyme and oportunitie to restore me again thoroughly to
his Majestie's gracious favour. Which suit I now tender again with all
fervent duetie if your Lordship doo knowe, that ever since you were pleased
to reintegrate me in your owne favour, I have applyed myself in all things
to do his Majestie service according to your Lordships directions: and
now promise so to continue to the best of my power.
I understood also from Sir Arthur Ingram, that your Lordship's pleasure
was that at my return I should attend you. But understanding that your
Lordship wilbe absent for some few dayes, I make bold to crave your
Lordships fu[rther] pleasure therein for the tyme, either by Sir Arthur
Ingram or otherwise as shall please your lordship. And so humbly take
leve and rest
In all duetie at your Lordship's Command
Edwin Sandys.
