blessed be our good god who hath not fayled us, but hath given vs cause of most vnspeakable ioy, for the good newes which we haue hard out of n: e: mr. wilson had bin with me before thy letters came to my hands, but brought me no letter. he speakes very well of things thear, so as my hart and thoughts are thear allready. I want but means to carye my bodye after them. I am now fully parswaded that it is the place whearein god will haue us to settle in, and I beseech him to fit vs for it, that we may be instruments of his glorye thear this newes came very seasonably to me, beinge possessed with much greefe for thee hearing how things went conserninge thy wife gointer, but now I have cast of that and hope god will turne all to the best. if thou canst but send me ouer when mr. wilson goeth back, I shalbe very very glad of his companye. if thy manyfould imployments will not suffer the to go with me I shalbe very sory for it, for I would be glad to carry all my company with me, but I will not say any more of this till I heare from thee, how things may be done. I pray consider of it: and giue me the best counsell you can. mr. wilson is now in london and promised me to com and see you. he can not yet perswad his wife to goe, for all he hath taken this paynes to come and fetch hir. I maruiell what mettell she is made on. shure she will yeald at last, or elce we shal want him excedingly in new england. I desyer to hear what newes my brother Downinge hath, for my Husban rit but little to me thinking we had bine on our voyage, and thus with my love to thy selfe my daughter and all the rest of my good frends I desyer the lord to blesse and keepe you and rest Your lovinge mother
