Master Iohann sent forward this news, having had it of one Marcella, 7 her missiue said yt ye good Alice died at the hospital owned by the Franciscans, called Elmbroke. Et so I know yt she had good help and comfort as her soul departed, 7 surely she meets with her hosbund, Baron Antonio, whom we called Price, 7 her daughter. 7 this year hath been heuy with ye duties of death, for so also haue Baron Duhgall died, 7 Daniel ye German, 7 Maria of Hoyse Moore, 7 Goodman Mark of Ceneleg, 7 Mark ye broder of Thomas Hallr Knnutsen, et others so sick yt death came near ym, 7 I am burdened wh ys worry.
