I know I am not gras[iu]s in the sight of your brother [Francis] therefore if it please you either to [R]ake your coch or nage I will attend you and declare the rest of my mind and bring a right honest merchant with me which shall justify upon his other all that I have set down [and] I presume you shall know such a secret if you please to hear me a little and go on my way because I know the nature of the party as you have not been possessed of a good while.
Now Sir, I have used a faithful heart to you; I have given you the onset of this action which is notably sought after so use me and my friend as we may have cause to pray for you, and after you shall be possessed of the matters so recommend our services to the Lord Treasurer [Burghley] as we may receive sum reward and favour in his sight and thus praying to God for you with a unified heart until I speak with you or know your pleasure I [am] staying at the waterside until I hear from you in Richmond said the first August.
Yours in all duty to command.
Thomas Drury

На всякий случай, для понимания масштаба цен: рабочая лошадь стоила тогда полтора фунта, цена "Фолио" 1623 года (первое полное собрание Шекспира) — 1 фунт, годовой заработок простолюдина — от 2 до 8 фунтов, актера — 20-25; кило табака, кстати — 4 фунта (т.е. это шло по разряду даже не травы, а кокоши и герыча).
