My humble duty remembred to your selfe and my mother with my love to my brothers and all our freinds with you: I suppose you have heard of our arrivall at Teeticut and oportune meeting with our vessell. Concerning that place I conceive it is not above 22 or 24 miles from mount Wooliston or Dorchester mill the Cuntry thereabouts very fertyle and rich ground and so all downe the river for 30 miles together (for so farre we went downe before it grew wide into Saceames harbour) a ship of 500 tunnes may come vp about 10 or 12 miles in the Narrow river. There is noe meadow nor salt marsh all the way, neyther could I see any in all Narigansett bay and as farre as I could perceive there is more marshe vpon Charles River and misticke then all the Naragansetts neere the sea. I was vp with Canonicus at his great Citty. there be many wigwams but they stand not together as I have heard reported. The ground there seemeth to be farre worse then the ground of the massachusett being light sandy and Rocky yet they have good Corne without fish; but I vnderstand that they take this course they have every one 2 feilds which after the first 2 yeares they lett one feild rest each yeare, and that kepes their ground continually in hart. The first of this month we sett sayle from Nariganset and in the afternoone, about 6 a Clocke arrived heere: for this place I have not yet seene any thing that I should be able to wright of it. mr. Gibbons can fully informe you of all things.

thus craving your prayers and blessing I commend you to the Almighty and rest Your obedient Sonne
