Below is a semi-diplomatic transcription of L.d.18, a letter from Anne (Gresham) Bacon to Lady Anne Gresham, in Nathaniel Bacon's hand.
Madame, I thought it good for me to writ somthinge to ​
you​r​ Ladyship​: though I wrot th​e​ lesse, least by not writinge ​
I sholde seame to forget th​a​t​ dutie, whi​ch​ I iustly owe unto ​
you​r​ Ladyship​: . ​I understande allmost every weake by Mr
Stringar of you​r​ Ladyship​: good health & my fathers, whi​ch​ I am
very glad to heare of. I myself am somwhat sickly.
Some p​er​swade me, th​a​t​ it is to a good end. My owne experi=
ence (as you​r​ Ladyship​ knoweth) is small to iudg. Suer I am, theris
yet no certeintie of th​a​t​ th​e​i saie. Yet I hope well, & ​I
praie to God I be not deceived of my hope. Thus wi​th​
humble remembrance of my dutie to my father I take ​
my leave, wisshinge you​r​ Ladyship​: longe to live in p​er​fect health.​
