Title: PEREGRINE BERTIE to JOHN PRIDGEON in Rome.
Description:

--The Captain [Foster] has sent us money sufficient to remove hence, and promises us more, but "when it comes, we shall be, I doute, soe unhapie as to be hire still, not knowing Mr. Cordell's resilutions, being a greate lover of this towne, but I have writt to my father and the Captain for orders to remove and meete you at your returne." Sir Ralph Verney has gone, therefore if I remove, I shall put your trunks in the hands of an honest gentlewoman here, called Mrs. Lewes. "I doute I must take your gray hatt to voiage in. I am soe sicke of this towne that all my pleasure is to tri my wittes how I may git oute of it."

 

Postscript.--"I am not sure how I shall be disposed on ... being the captain hath commanded me from my father to looke after the armies, to see what commands are most convenient for me....Just now Mr. Cordell tells me wee shall goe for Rogell [Rochelle] at the ende of our month."
