I received 3 Lettres from you, but had no opportunitye to sende any to you. I blesse the Lord for the Continuance of your healthe, and of your Companye: but I am sorye to heare your house is in no more forward-nesse. I doubt you will not have it fitt for habitation this winter.

Concerninge Mr. Leveredge,2 I knowe not how you can seeme to desire him without Offence to the Lords who have sent him over, though he may be free neither doe I see how you are able at present to maintaine him and his familye but that you must waite till the springe: yet what lyes within my power to helpe you herein I shalbe readye.

For the steeres I sent, I had worde from you by Mr. Clerke, to sende one, and I knewe you might more easyly make vse of 2 then one. if none of your neighbours can or will fitt them for your owne and their vse, I will sende for them againe. if you make but a slead you may drawe wood and Timber enough with them.

For the olde Corne you desire, I cannot helpe you with aboue one hogshead (for I have not 2 lefte) but I have bought a hogshead of Englishe meale for you: which I will sende you by the next Conveyance (if you resolve to winter there).

There was a Sowe of lead sent at first which you were best to enquire after, yet you may have another. for other things your wife will write to you. I meet with so many letts, as I doubt I shall not see you at Agawam till the Court be passed. The messinger is readye to departe, so as I must ende, and with mine and your mothers most hearty Love and prayers to the Lord for your wellfare, I commende you to the good providence and blessinge of the Lord and rest Your loving father,
