Sib,
I receeved yours, and I hope mene is come safe to your hand.
I send you hear inclosed a derection to find a gentelman may be ser-
visable to me. He has ben with his lady since Apirall to the Physicions,
and he exspresed as if he cold sarve me, in case D[uke] A[rgyle] dyed,
so I sent Mr. Crow to him, and he promised to doe power.* He told
hem ther was a gentelman, meening you, would wait upon him, and con-
cert matters, so as that, at any [time] D[uke] A[rgyle] should dye,
what was properest to doe, to have out of the hands of that slut he keeps
what she has of his; I desier therfor, you would see him befor you
leave Ingland, and resolve upon the safest and best methods.
* Sic. The words " all in his," are accidentally omitted.
