To my dear son William, to be delivered wherever he is. From Norwich.
My good child, the mercy of Jesus Christ be with you for ever. I had to write these few lines to you, so that you know I have not forgotten you. I am sending a messenger to get news of you. I pray to God that I will hear you are well, and I beg you to look after yourself in every way, both as far your health goes and your achievements. I want Tom Ayde to make you a handsome winter suit that will be right for Cambridge, to wear with your gown, which I believe has scarlet on it; otherwise your gown will be too good for your suit, and the gown is getting so short that it will be no use to you after this winter. I hear everyone is well at Cambridge. Tills is on the mend: it seems he had a fever and a rash; at Walsham only three have died these last two days, and they were children. The house at Trunch is safety guarded: it is said that Purgall did not die of the plague. The household there are all well so far, but your father is suffering again with his leg: it is very bad. Farewell, my good child, until Monday. Please remember me to all our good friends, whenever you think appropriate. The Lord bless, preserve and keep you, now and for ever.
Your most loving mother, Katherine Paston
