I received your lettre and doe heartylye bless the Lorde for the Continuance of your wellfare, beseechinge him to sanctifie you more and more, for his glorye and your owne saluation.

for the businesse you write of concerninge your brother, I have conferred with him, and shalbe as gladd as any, of his staye heere if he can take any good order for his estate there, what he will doe, I knowe not yet, but I thinke he wilbe with you soone. I would gladdly have you heere betymes next weeke, but beinge it wilbe mundaye senight before we shall gett forthe of towne, it wilbe chargeable to keepe all the horses heere so longe: therefore, if you can finde any Companye to come vp with, you may be heere on teusdaye or wensdaye: otherwise you may staye a daye or 2: the longer and let John come with you for I would not have you ride alone. I have sent downe all the late newes from New England. I would have some of you reade it to your mother, and let Forth copye out the observations and all that follows from the ☞: and the lettre in the ende and showe it mr. Mott, and others that intende this voyage. Your vnckle and Auntes are all in healthe and salute you and the rest of ours etc. Comende me to your vncle Gostlin and Aunt and all the rest of our loving freindes that aske of me. so with my loue and blessinge to your self your brothers and sister, salutations to our yonge companye, I ende, and rest, your loving father
