CDXV. Sir Edwin Sandys. A Letter to John Ferrar
November 22, 1623

Ferrar Papers
Document in Magdalene College, Cambridge. Autograph Letter signed, with seals
List of Records No. 596

Sr yu give me often cause to iterate my thanks, for you care of my busines.
I have written to yu in a letter apart, touching the rumor of my debts:
wch I pray yu speedily communicate to so manie of my assured frends as
yu shall think fit, Mr Keightley, Mr Barbor, Mr Wheatley, & if yu please
Sr John Dāvers, & som others: who I trust will control that false rumor
where they meet it. It is plain that it wrought on the Knight at Fan-
church: And I conceive H. H. was made the instrument. It would much
trowble me that it should woork also on my frend G. B. then whom I
thought I could have none more assured. Neither will I think otherwise
till I heare from himself: wch as yet I have not §doon§ this Term. And
till then I forbeare my answer to yor brother Nicolas: wch I presume he
will not misconceive of. It were hard & not discreet, to presse a man
necessarily absent, to pay in all his debts on a sodain: wch beeing impossible,
must break out into mischief. And verily an enimie, were better then
such a suretie: But I will never interpret an hastie woord to his woorst.
There shall no man sustain losse by me, nor trowble by suit: Of this be
assured: Neither will I use credit longer, then of necessitie.

And now to my busines. The 22l.. wch yu have received from the Pordages,
is to be thus disposed of: Fortie shillings to yor self, for the half moneth
over: §&§ the 20l.. to yor mother, wth an addition of 10l.. more from Mr
Kay: who (I speak it to yor self only,) hath had my money in his hands
a good while, & som of it (viz 51l..) these 4 moneths: a parcell not yet
by him acknowledged: But so much I perceive, both by my Receivor
Mr Hardwick, & my Bailie Richard Waind, in their severall letters. The
provision wch I made was timelie enough: I needed not have trowbled
anie man, had I been delt wth as was fit. The next payment is of my
Bond to Sr Nicolas Tufton, for 207l.. 10s.. on the 24th of this moneth:
wch must needs be discharged: for so I promised. But his use of the
monie is not till the last of the Term. Toward this, after the 10l.. paid
to yor mother, there wilbe in Mr Kays hands of the 250l.. paid to him


406

this Term by Mr Hardwick, but—118l.. 3s.. 4d.. Then that other 51l..,
paid §at York§ to his use in the beginning of August last, I presume
he will not denie. In Mr Cuffs hands of 30l.. 12s.. 6d.. wch he received
of my Rents, there is now remaining only 3l.. 3s.. 9d.. And thus much
is readie: wch cometh in the whole to—172l.. 7s.. 1d.. wch wanteth of the
due Sum 35l.. 2s.. 11d.. Toward this there is 20l.. in the Town allreadie,
sent up by one Mr Binks: who hath written to me that in the end of the
Term, he wilbe there himself wth the Rest of my monie due from his
charge: wch I count cannot come to so little as 30l.. more: There is also
now with me one Mr W. Kay my Tenant, who is indebted to me very
neer 100l..: toward wch he hath brought up about 80. firkins of Butter:
the proceed whereof in monie is to be for mee. I am also written to
very confidently, that Sr Ed: Stanhops Rent of 40l.. 6s.. 8d.. wilbe paid
there this Term. And wch I had before forgot; there is remaining in
Mr Hardwicks hand, wch he writeth shalbe readie 6l.. 4s.. All wch put
together, (& I make no great dowt but within these Ten days it will all,
or very neer all come in;) would beside that Bond, discharge also my
other bond of 103l.. 12s.. to Sr Nicolas Tufton, due on the 26th of this
moneth: & also my interest of 27l.. to Mr Abdie & Mr Godscall: wch is
all that this Term I desire to pay: My Baylies also advertize me, that
there wilbe paid in at York, in the end of this moneth to be returned
to Mr Ro Ray 160l.. more or thereabout. So that had I but a frend
there, who could & would spare me so much for the tyme as to make
up those paiments, it should be thankfully requited wth the *one of
dowble as much more for a tyme as long, or else wth the interest as the
partie should desire. The cares of these particulars I have divided to
som other of my frends, Mr Barbor, & Mr Cuffe: yet it contenteth me
also that I have likewise imparted them to yu.. who I knowe are desirous
that all my busines should prosper, & wilbe assisting wth yor good woord
& encouragement.

I am hartily glad of the good nues from Virginia I beseech God to looke
upon them wth the eyes of his favor & grace. So wth hartiest salutation,
I betake yu to the Tuition of the Highest, & rest

Yors most assured
Edwin Sandys

407

Because nothing shall divert for my paiments to Sr Nicolas Tufton: &
on the Six & Twentith of this moneth, there wilbe interest nine pounds
interest due to Mr Godscall wch by no meanes may be delayed, I have
sent yu up another letter to the Pordages for that Sum: whereof my
Tenant assureth me they will not faile at the Day: Good Mr Ferrar send
it to them wth speed: & desire Mr Cuffe to see the monie §duely§ paid
to Mr Godscall. Adieu
[Endorsed (by J D?):] Sr Edwin Sandys from Northborn the 22th of Nouem-
ber 1623.
[Addressed by Sandys:] To my very assured frend Mr John Ferrar at his
House in St Sithes Lane in London.
