Right Honourable my most humble dutie remembered. Having heeretofore divers times entreated your Honourable Lordship to be a meane unto Her Majestie that I might have leve to go into my countrey seeing I have no meanes to maintain myself here, and perceevinge by Your Lordship at my last being with your Honor that you moved Her Majestie therein whom your Lordship found unwilling to grant it, I have thereupon caused my wife not to trouble Her Majestie any further for the same, and willed her to sue for some maintenance whereby myself and she might live until Her Majestie granted my libertie which she hath don still since my being with your Lordship, all which time I could never acquaint your Lordship withal, because I dare not go before your Lordship or anywhere else abroad for fear of being arested for myne owne and my wyfes diet; and for as much as she doth now fynd Her Majestie well inclined thereunto, and that Her Highness doth daily promise to give order to your Lordship for her, I am therefore most humblie to beseech your Honourable Lordship to move Her Majestie now for me, and to be a mean that I may be partly releived with some maintenance whereby myself and my wife and folkes may live whyle Her Majestie shall think good to kepe me here, beseeching Your Lordship not to move her Majestie for my libertie to go into Ireland, because I am not desirous to go thither, knowing Her Majestie to be unwilling, as also that I have no meanes to leave my wife any maintenance, who is great with child, and not able to go any where, thus beseeching your Lordship to be myndful of me, herein I humbly take leave this 16th of June 1592.
Your Lordships most humble to command,
ffLOR. McCARTHYE.
