Transcribed by Thomas Wright

If you have wrytten anythyng sence Barloo cam from thence, you have no such cause to marvell as we here have : for sence his arryval here we have contynued in daylye expectation to here from you, how you, Sir Nicholas Throkmorton, wer accepted there, and, behold, in the midst of our expectation, the first of August, in the morning, cometh the certenty of the rendryng of Newhaven, which, seing it pleased Almighty God to visit with such incurable infection, being as it semeth a denne of poyzon, it was well bargained to depart it.
What you now doo, we looke dayly to here ether from you, or by you, Sir Nicholas Throkmorton. As the tyme and carryer is, I can wryte no more. My Lord Admyrall is here ; my Lord of Warwyk at Southwyk, by Portsmouth. 4th August, 1563.
Yours assuredly,

W. Cecill
