41.4.5

The tokens you sent mee I receiue most gratfully; but all beeing not for my vse, I take only two feathers and one hatt and band, a swoord and hangers, and lace for bands. The rest yet lye by mee, that may serue your turne; if not, I will weare them for your sake, or sell them and put to your account. Your loue to mee is sufficient present. I dare nor perswade you to send any quantetie of such ware as these; the kinds in its owne Place I haue mentioned. Ammell is fallen in Price, yet it will giue good profitt; but it must bee good. Ther is noe salle till the Court bee settled. About this quantetie yearly will passe at most, for the Portugall now ouerlayes it.
