Deare freind
yours of the 10th I receiued about an houre ago when I was writing to Mr Secretarie an account of my last beeing at Francfort whence I wrote unto you. & promised an answer to the extract of Mr. Worsleys wherin hee desires as I suppose by some obiections to draw forth more light to discerne the nature of my busines which God willing by the next I hope to furnish you withall. in the meane time take this extract out of the letter which I wrote from thence to my Lord President which may serue as a preparatorie to that which is to come.
here is as you see one inclosed to Mr. Sadler concerning that which I haue to deale with Mr Cressit whom I would willingly set right if it can bee effected. neither you nor my wife euer yet told me whether the short letter which I wrote to him after all the large ones was deliuered; if you deliuered it not you did not well.
the letter which I wrote 14 dayes ago to my wife; which I left open under a couvert for you to bee copied out & communicated to Mr. Sadler & others because it is of some concernment for me to know the Contents therof I desire to haue a copie of it; for I had no time to read it ouer after I had done writing it.
I send you here the Suedish manifest which I receiued at Francfort from the Ambassadors Secretarie it was printed there & I had the last weeke one to send to Mr Secretarie, & now I got this for you.
and this is all at present which I can acquaint you with, who commending you & yours to the grace of God remaine
Sir
your faithfull to
Hanaw this 18th. August serue you in Christ
1655 Iohn Robertson
