THE SWEATING SICKNESS.

Letter XIII.

Since your last letters, mine own darling, Walter Welsh, Master Brown,

John Case, John Cork the pothecary be fallen of the sweat in this

house, and, thanked be God, all well recovered, so that as yet the

plague is not fully ceased here; but I trust shortly it shall. By the

mercy of God the rest of us yet be well, and I trust shall pass it,

either not to have it, or at the least as easily as the rest have

done.... As touching your abode at Herne, do therein as best shall

like you; for you know best what air does best with you; but I would

it were come thereto (if it pleased God), that neither of us need care

for that; for I ensure you I think it long. Suche is fallen sick of

the sweat; and therefore I send you this bearer, because I think you

long to hear tidings from us, as we do likewise from you. Written with

the hand _de votre seul_.

H. Rex.
