Right well beloved brother, I recommend myself unto you, informing you that this day I received a letter from you written at Antwerp on the first day of October, the which I do well understand, and am sorry that the war is do great in that part that Hollanders may not come down. I have been at Chipping Norton [Oxfordshire] and set all things in a good way, and with my uncle John Cely, and he has gathered 16 sacks of fair wool, and now Wylliam Mydwynter has come here, but I spoke not with him yet. How that I do with him I shall write to you in my next letter. Our mother is at Bryttes yet merry, thanks be to God. The King is at the Tower and his lords in council daily. I pray God send us a a merry world. It is evil for a man to charge him nowadays, for I hear of no sales. If I should depart far from the bargain with Wylliam Mydwynter that you and I made, I will do my best. I think it will be well done, for our debtors are slow payers etc. I understand from Robard Eryke that you have 2 fair hawks. I would desire that you would speed yourself into England. We long sorely for you. Bayard, your horse, does well, and as for your young grey horse, [he] runs in as good a park as any in Essex. As Levynge, the bringer of this letter, can inform you, Sir, oats be dear, and so is all other corn. I have received your hanging of your chamber from William Cely. No more to you. Jesus keep you. Written at London the 17th day of October.
by Richard Cely
You must remember to buy canvas to pack in.
Addressed: To be given unto my right well beloved brother George Cely, merchant of the Staple, at Calais or Brugge.
