Description: | 1589, January 30. Bergen up Zome.
Has received his Lordship's letter by Captain Audley, and perceives that all his horse companies are set down for Portugal except his Lordship's own and Sir William Russell's, as also a great part of the foot, "which, if it be so, somebody hath overshot himself," but hopes that his Lordship has sent such caveats into England that their honourable war (which is a certainty) may not be overthrown for an uncertainty. Again prays for a warrant for 100l. due to him, having now "an extraordinary occasion and charge."
Postscript.--Has made bold to write to Lady Leyghton and Lady Rich, as he means presently to transport his mistress to her friends in England; and has also written to Mr. Secretary, his father [Sir Francis Knollys], Lord Essex and the Lord Chamberlain touching the government of Rammeckins, in which matter he beseeches Lord Willoughby to stand his friend.
