Anne [Dudley, Countess of] Warwick, at the Court, to her friend Ellice Price, doctor of civil law and one of the Queen's Council. Remembering the kind and friendly disposition, which Ellice Price has shown towards Lord Leicester and her late husband, hopes she may beg for its continuation, for which she will be not unmindful to give the best return in her power. Has, along with some of her friends, chosen Ellice Price to be joined in commission with others of her officers whom she sends down about the lands there. Desires his assistance in the execution of the service which she believes by his means and those of the rest, may be brought to some conclusion that answers her expectation. 'As also those of the Countrey have cause to the like them selves behooulding unto you, for that ffrendly and indifferent course which they finde therin houlden, and for avoyding of their further Trouble in thaccomplishment hereof.' Hopes for his friendly regard for the carrying out of this matter which is of such importance to her. Is ready to requite him to the utmost as the occasion shall offer. Postscript: 'Post Script written with her owne hand'. Since Ellice Price has always hitherto been employed in this service and is the only man of whom special account has been made, Anne Dudley, thinking no less of him, expects the better dispatch of her business.
