By my former lettres I did at lardge advertize your Honor of the manner and meanes used by Mr. Florence McCartie, in contrivinge the marriadge betweene him and the Erle of Clancarties daughter, and therefore thinke it nedeles to troble your Honor furder therewith; but beinge now mynded to send over his man, he hath earnestlie entreated me to recommende him by my lettres unto your Honor's good favour, which I have the rather presumed to doe, as well by reason of the good demenour and carriadge of himself, wherewith I have ben longer acquainted, as allso for that havinge sundri tymes sithens his commitment had conference with him, I fynde him verry penitente for his falt so offensive to her Majestie, protestinge that the ignorance of her Highness' pleasure, and no illmeaninge in himself was the cause of his error, the consideracion of which I leave to your Honor's grave judgment, and so comittinge the same to Godes holie tucion, doe most humblie take leave this 28 July 1588.
