I receved on saturday night last yours of the 19, but so late that I could not then lett you know I had gott it, by the which I was very glad to find you were safly arrived there. I see you were to go the next day to Dieren, to divert yourself there. I hâve not now tyme for any thing of that kind , tho the vveather be very favorable, because the Parliament hère draws now to an end; for, tho it dos not sitt till saturday, by reason of the late chanselors funeral, yett the Articles meet on thursday , and I hâve businesse enougli upon my hands to prépare things in the meane tyme; for, tho things go very well, one is willing to hâve a Parliament over as sone as conveniently one can. I hâve not tyme to say more , but to assure you you shall always find me as kind to you as you can désire.
