Title: SIR FRANCIS VERE to LORD WILLOUGHBY.
Description:

--"I have heard by a letter of Sir Roger Wyllyiames, that Mr. Wylkes should say unto my Lord Treasurer, I know not upon [what] occasion, that I would rather follow [Sir John] Norreys then any man in Ingland." I am astonished that a man of his credit should make any such report, and beseech your Lordship not to give credit to it, but to believe "that I wyll never fayle in all gratefull manner to acknowledg my good cheefly from your Lordship, and thatt I can make distinction betwyxt Sir Jhon and my other frendes. We expect dayly his comming heather [with a com]mission to drawe from hence . . . two thousand men, whearin perchance [he think]eth cheefly to prevayle trough his owne creditt, butt so far as I can perceave, her Majesty's absolutt wyll and pleasure must stryke the stroke, or ealse they wylbe hardlye drawne to yeald their consents. They have been about a levy of three thousand foot and three hundred horse, which they have stayed, as I gess, tyll they understand the effect of Sir Jhon's commission." Holograph.
