Deliver to the right worshipful, my very loving sister the Lady Paston.
Good sister,
Although I needn't have written to you for the moment regarding this business that I'm endeavoruing to see through, it is for your benefit, as I myself never intended to oppose you about it, yet because the Lord Chancellor instructed in the last legal term that I should send my brother Paston the reasons why I wish to have the land recently purchased to be in the possession of the children of my brother Paston, to my wife and her children. I hae therefore sent you a copy of the reasons given and have appointed my solicitor to to arrange eight days of next February, if he can, for the Lord Chancellor to hear these reasons given by my counsel. I wish the happy continuance of my brother's offspring as long as the world lasts, and my heart is free from the wish or hope that ever my children should come to own the land, yet seeing it is their right both by law of God and man, the world would condemn me, if I should be negligent in making my best endeavours to have it settled on them. Thus with my wife's and my kind affection to your self and my good borher, wishing all happiness to you both, and to your sweet children, I remain,
Your assured loving brother,
John Heveningham
