SIR,
I Have received the things you sent me, safe;
and now the only thing I long for, is to
hear of my dear sick Sister; first, how her health
fares, next, whether my peace be yet made with
her concerning my unkind departure. Can I
be so happy, as to hear of both these that they
succeed well? Is it not too much for me?
Good Sir, make it plain to her, that I loved
her even in my departure, in looking to her
Son, and my charge. I suppose she is not dis∣posed
to spend her eye-sight on a piece of paper,
or else I had wrote to her; when I shall under∣stand
that a Letter will be seasonable, my Pen
is ready. Concerning the Orators place all goes
well yet, the next Friday it is tryed, and ac∣cordingly
you shall hear. I have forty busines∣ses
in my hands, your Courtesie will pardon the
haste of
Jan. 19. 1619.
Trin: Coll.
Your humblest Servant, George Herbert.
