GOOD NEPHEWE,
You shall finde me very carefull for my neece Katherine's good; if he[1] shall come hither I shall tell him that a business of this nature is first to be treate of by frends, and that if his father will give way to it, he shalbe welcome to me, and by that I shall finde weather the younger man deales really, which as occasion serves I will no fail to acquaynt you and my sister. Doubt not but my wife and I will so handle the matter that I hope your sister shall receyve noe prejudice heere, for before I speake with his father I will beleive nothinge, nor suffer any communication betweene them. So in hast, with my best respects to you both
I rest
Your loving uncle
JAMES OXINDEN
