Mutilated I haue spoken with the lord Brooke and the rest of that Companie for your allowance. I haue cleared your reputation and fidelity with them all. after some discourse for your recompence they haue torn read your lettre. Mr. Fenick said that you gave him an account, which after 2 or 3 dayes you desired of him againe, which he forgott to call for back, soe they all agreed yt fitt to see some account, though not stricktly for euerie penny, and then they said they would deall freely with you to content.

I write you noe newes, because God willing I hope to be with you verie shortly. All things stand well in the Eye of our State concerning your plantation; noe word of any Murmuring against yt. your new vpstart opinions 21are here generally cryed downe. soe with my love to yourselfe your wife etc. I leave you and yours to the blessing of God.
