Description:

--"I have sent your Lordship herewith Sir Robert Carewes letter with these, that your Lordship may se what he desires. I am of his opinion for his brother Jhon Carew: your Lordship may please to nominate him for the West Marche. He is riche, mutch beloved of the souldioury and gentry and very wise, for these commendations my Lord Chamberlein yesterday attributed to him more than his brother, addinge farder that Jhon Carew should not yeld the marshallshippe of Barwicke to never a man in England, neither was there any better able to sarve in it. I am bound to beleave his Lordship, but leave the matter notwithstandinge to your disposinge and discerninge my Lords affections, yet I thinke there is mutch difference in their serviceable devotions to your Lordship as is best knowne to yourselfe." Holograph. ½ p.
