Mr. Endecot and my selfe salute you in the Lord Jesus etc. Wee haue heard of a diuidence of women and children in the bay and would bee glad of a share viz: a yong woman or girle and a boy if you thinke good: I wrote to you for some boyes for Bermudas, which I thinke is considerable.

Besides wee are bold to impart our thoughts about the Corne at Pequoit, which wee wish were all cut downe, or left to the Naragansicks rather than for vs to take it, for wee feare it will proue a snare thus to hunt after their goods, whilst wee come forth pretending only the doing of Justice, and wee beleeue it would strike more terror into the Indians so to doe: It will neuer quit cost for vs to keepe it.

Wee are not well at ease some of vs viz: Mr. Endecot and my selfe, but wee haue a strong God to whom wee commend you and my deere and much honourd sister, tendering all our respects vnto you vnfaynedly I rest Yours vnworthy of you
