After so longe rest, having this convenient messenger, Master Askam, I cannot omit my hartie salutations in these fewe wordes, and therwith most hartely desiring you that I may knowe the privye counsell's pleasure, by your good meanes, concerning the imprisonmente of the Scottish priestes remayning in the castell of Yorke, whereof I have advertised the Lordes of the counsell by my severall letters, and as yet have not knowne theire pleasure therin. I am constrayned to trouble you with this sute, partely for pitie of some of them being utterly destitute of reliefe, and such as I hope well of for the tyme to come, and partely for theyr contynual crying uppon me.
And thus I byd you most hartelie farewell. From my manor, at Cawood (2), the 3rd dale of October, Anno Dni. 1563.
Your loving frende assuredly,

Tho. Ebor
