LETTER LIX.

William Bagnold to Richard Edwards. (O.C. 3474.)

Hugly September the 10th 1670. Mr Richard Edwards

And Respected freind, yours of the last past mouth came to my receipt the 2d present. By Mr Vickers doe understand the reason of your being Soe long Silent, in which you did not much frustrate my ex- pectations, being mine required noe speedy answere, though it is my desire as often as convenience will permitt to read a few iin[es f]rom those that I esteem my reall freinds.

For your readiness and willingness to comply with my desires (if I am ordered for the Fort) doe returne you hearty thanks, but being yett att an uncertainty, I cannot resolve uppon any thinge. If my stay bee ordered here, I shall have noe occasion to trouble you. Mr March and Mr Vincent are expected here vet few daies, uppon whose arrivail it will bee presently after deter- mined ; and if then it cannot with conve- nience bee effected, doe assure you shall not attribute it to any fault in your selfe, being assured that you are none of the cast* that

"caste" to mean kind, sort.
