Description (What the record is about)
-
Richd. How I (London) to Richd. How II (Leipzig) Account of fire nearby, in which about 100 houses were burned to the ground - Respecting thy cousin Elizabeth I can not omitt to write something as I am not quite easy, wherefore I desire thee by the first post ... to write me an exact translation of all that part of thy letter to her which related to the postponing marriage for two years .... but write with blacker ink & a stronger hand, for as I use no spectacles tho' my eyes grow old the-letters put me to some difficulty to read them.
