LOVINGE BROTHER OXENDEN,

I kindly commend my love to you, my sisters and my Lady and thanke you for your mindfulnesse of my wife for a midwife; the tyme drawes nye at hand, and ther for have thought fitt to send unto you, intreattinge you to writte by my man that she may come away with him, if you thinke fit, or otherwise to direct him by some token to the same end, for I am altogether a stranger unto hir. I thinke she shall serve my sister Saunders' turne also, who hath a mind thereto if God give opportunytie to both, thus in great hast I comit you all to the Almightie and rest ever

Your very lovinge brother

FRAN: TILGHMAN

Sarr Jan: 20th 1625
