Approximate Modern Translation
Darling, though I have scant leisure yet remembering my promise
I thought it go convenient to certify you briefly as to how our
affairs stand. As touching a lodging for you we have gotten
one through my Lord Cardinal's means, the like of which could not have
been found around here, for all causes, as this bearer shall more
show you. As touching our other affairs I assure you there
can be no more done, nor more diligence used, nor all manner
of dangers better both forseen and provided for, so that I trust
it shall be hereafter to both our comfort, the specialties whereof
were both too long to be written, and hardly to be sent through a messenger. Wherefore till your coming here, I keep something in store trusting it shall not be long to, for I have caused my lord, your father, to make his provisions with speed, and thus for lack of time darling, I make an end of my letter, written with the hand of him who wishes he were yours, H.R.
