A.L.S., Will[iam] Morice, one page, small 4to, n.p., 8th February 1670 [1671], to Elizabeth Martyn ('My dear Sister'). Morice states that he has received her letter containing expressions of kindness and 'your acknowledgements and acceptance of my desires to serve you', continuing to explain 'I have a great affection and readiness to your service in any thing within my power, and should longer have accommodated you with this sum, but that my own occasions are pressing to require it, I having paid a great deal of money of late, and must make payment of more suddenly; and I do seriously tell you as a real truth that I shall be enforced to borrow a great sum upon use for some time'. With integral address leaf in Morice's hand ('For my deare and honoured sister Mrs Elizabeth Martyn at Heavitree') and bearing the remnants of a red wax seal. Some light age wear and minor staining and with a small hole just affecting the last line of text, otherwise VG
