I have cast up the account of the remainder which is yet behind of the goods that Mr. Kirby sent over it amounteth to 44li 14s whereof the 3d parte deducted there remaineth 29li 16s to be returned for England, which is to be equally divided betwixt my uncle Downing and Mr. Kirby: I pray be pleased to send a bill for the said 29li 16s to Mr. Kirby to be received of my Uncle Downing with directions to him to pay himselfe his owne third part: I have to this purpose written to Mr. Kirby to receipt it and sent him a full account of all things. I understand that a Virginia pinnace hath brought over many Goats. If you please I would desire you to buy some of his Goats for some of those trucking Coats if he will exchange, they may be valued I think at about 20s a Coat etc. it may be he would take all the other things. they stand in above 44li I thinke they may be vallued altogether at about 60li or dearer if his goats be deare.

I received some Corne by John Gallop, I thanke you for it. I understand by him that you would have bought some English meale for me, but I pray doe not for if you please to send me Corne my men shall beat it if I cannot have some ground, only I desire to have 2 or 3 bushell ground if it can be, because I have borrowed some on condition to pay in meale againe: If any pinnace come I pray be pleased to remember us with some munition ordinance muskets Carbines pikes and such as are to be had. thus with my duty and my wifes to your selfe and my mother saluting my brothers Cosens and freinds I humbly take my leave and rest Your Obedient son
