My dutye remembred ettc. Att my cominge from the Baye to Richmonds Iland I sent the first bill of exchange for the 100s and the 2d by the waye of Bristoll, and arrivinge hither I received a lettre from Mr. Elbridge in which he writes that he had received 100s of Sir Rich: Saltonstall in part of the bill of exchange and dammadge, and now I haue written vnto him to retourne the bills agayne, beinge confident that he will without presentinge them: and to that ende I haue sent vnto Mr. Mayhew that he may forbeare the payment of it to Mr. Ballard. Had I knowne of the receipt of the 100s I would not haue sent the bills for England not presentinge elce at present, I take leaue and rest ever Your Worships to command
