Title	Elisah Bourne at Oxford to his father Immanuel Bourne at Ashover - I hope the Lord has prevented our fears and answered our prayers in bringing you safe home - I am now pretty well recovered but am troubled by a cough and may be able to enure myself a little to the open air - I am troubled likewise by costiveness - if it please the Lord to blow over this storm of public danger and to renew my strength, I intend to come to Derbyshire as soon as I can - there is no good news from the army - the enemy is said to have broken through the men - it is now requested that not only fellows of houses should turn trolpers but also that scholars and undergraduates become foot soldiers - those who are unwilling are thinking of leaving - I am in fears whether to fly or go, for travelling is said to be dangerous - the Lord keep us and preserve us - I must desire your counsel because I know not how the Lord may deal with us - desire my mother from me to bear patiently god's afflicting hand in the loss of my dear brother - we have no reason to grudge at his happiness - pray remember to send the money as soon as possible as I should be loth to leave college with so much owing on the gown
