31    Most deere mother I thinke Essex to be a very solitarye place
32now, beinge bard not only your companye but alsoe of hearinge from
33you so oft as I mighte doe when you were at Hattfilde. I should be
34very glad to wright offener, but that I know not which way to send a
35letter saife. It would much rejoyce me to here of your good health this
36winter, which I much disire and praye for. I thank God I and my
37children are well. We have no good newes hear, but ill; Mr Beard is
38gone from us and we are left in a petifull condition and may well say
39with Johoshaphat, we know not what to doe but our eyes are upon the
40lord, for the means that we have is very pore and we have litel hope of
41any other. Thus desiringe your praers for us I ever remaine
