Bushmead.
30. Sir Richard Gery, sheriff of co. Bedford, to the Privy Council. The sheriffwick of this county came to me so unexpectedly that most of my time has been exacted in fitting myself for the business of the office. The residue which I could snatch I have employed in mastering the difficulties of the business of shipping, and at this present am wholly employed in it; but my predecessor having gathered up what was willingly paid, the residue left to collect has to be compelled, or is not to be had, making it a work of time and difficulty. I will not be wanting in my utmost endeavours to expedite the service. [1 p. Seal with arms.]
