My true loue remembred: I sent you a few lines by land and now againe by sea to assuer you that I forget you not: and 286the name of your good health is good newes vnto me: I suppose the former parsell of cloth is neere all gonn and therefore I haue sent you a smale parsell more: the best that euer came to Quinettecot: the contentes are as followeth viz:

I pray accept my bill of exchang to you by Mr. Peeter for 63li: and as for the fraight of the Blessing formerly I haue a perfett account of it: but I haue not mett with Anthony Dike to confer my notes with him.

And as for the fraught of the Batcheller I shall mak vpp the Tunag with Mr. Gose at Watertowne2 for thither I haue conditioned that she must deliuer our goods: I asked Leiftenant Gibins before I would hier her if she might goe as far as Watertowne and he confidently affirmed she might and that there is water enough: therefore I pray giue all the furtherance you can.

Also I received a parsell of course wampam from you but I could not trade any of it because others were furnished with plenty of better: But if you will send me a parsell of a 100 or 200 fathom of fine white wampam I shall accept it as beuer: If you sell not this cloth keepe it in good condition and I will take it againe.

As for vsing ould traders to trade for you it is not the best way for your gaine: for they know how to saue themselues but a trusty man that neuer was a trader will quickly find the way of trading and bring you best profitt.

And so the god of peace be with you euer. Your euer louing Freind
