of the French Hospital at Madrid, where she died of a fever at ten
days old; my next daughter of her name lies buried in the Parish of
Foot's Cray, in Kent, near Frog-Pool, my brother Warwick's house,
where she died; and my daughter Mary lies in my father's vault in
Hertford, with my first son Henry; my eldest lies buried in the Parish
Church of St. John's College in Oxford, where he was born; my second
Henry lies in Bengy Church, in Hertfordshire; and my second Richard in
the Esperanza in Lisbon in Portugal, he being born ten weeks before my
time when I was in that Court. I praise God I have living yourself and
four sisters, Katherine unmarried, Margaret married to Vincent
Grantham, Esq., of Goltho, in the county of Lincoln, Anne, and
Elizabeth.

Now I have shown you the most part of your family by the male line,
except Sir Thomas Fanshawe, of Jenkins, who has but one child, and
that a daughter, and two brothers, both unmarried. Their father as
well as themselves was a worthy honest gentleman and a great sufferer
for the Crown, wholly engaging his estate for the maintenance thereof;
and so is my cousin John Fanshawe, of Parslowes, in Essex, who hath
but two sons, one unmarried by his first wife, who was the daughter of
Sir William Kingsmill; and the other is a child whom he had by his
last wife, the daughter of my cousin, Thomas Fanshawe, of Jenkins.

I confess I owe Sir Thomas Fanshawe as good a character as I can
express, for he fully deserves it, both for his true honours, and most
excellent acquired and natural parts; and that which is of me most
esteemed, he was your father's intimate friend as well as near
kinsman; and during the time of the war he was very kind to us, by
assisting us in our wants, which were as great as his supports; which,
though, I thank God, I have fully repaid, yet must ever remain obliged
