FROM CASTLE RISING FOURTEEN SIXTY NINE
TO SIR JOHN SAY THIS LETTER I SIGN
RIGHT TRUSTY AND WELL BELOVED WE GREET YOU WELL
AND OF MY LACK OF FUNDS I DO SADLY TELL
THE KINGS GOOD GRACE HAS APPOINTED ME
TO ATTEND FOR HIS HIGHNESS I DID NOT FORESEE
MY URGENT REQUEST FOR ONE HUNDREDTH POUND
UNTIL NEXT EASTER WHEN REPAYMENT IS FOUND
FOR AT THIS TIME I AM IN GREAT NEED
AND I MUST SHOW YOU GOOD LORDSHIP INDEED
THE BEARER HEREOF SHALL INFORM QUITE SOON
WRITTEN AT RISING THE TWENTY FOURTH DAY OF JUNE
