Captain Culcheth to Mr. William Clark4

Honnoured Sir,

I dare not take the bouldnes to write to my Lord Generall unless it were more to purpose. And therefore I begg your favor to acquaint his Lordshipp that I am noe other then a servant of my Lord Howards, and soe must nether trott nor walke but as hee bidds: and the trueth is you are at that distance at present that I cannot leave my chardge but to utter ruein. If it were my owne there were the less matter.

Soe soone as the messendger came to mee with his Lordshipp’s two letters, I dispatcht him back for feare of an ill turne, for heares briske worke.

I am, Sir,
Your very humble servant,

Rich: Culcheth.

[Endorsed] Capt. Culcheth, conc. his not appearing without order from my Lo. Howard.
