W. 2. 46, 47; 4 Collections , VI. 88. The first two documents are on the recto, the third on the verso of W. 2. 46. The fourth is on the verso of W. 2. 47, the recto of which contains the third of exchange, followed by a note by Bunduck similar to that which accompanies the second of exchange. There are slight differences in spelling, etc., between the second and third of exchange, which are in different hands; also the third has “the Collony of the Massachusetts Bay” and omits the direction to Downing's house. Bunduck's notes are holographs and differ slightly in wording; that on the third of exchange begins “Mr. Downinge this is to intreat you to pay,” etc.
