After my bounden duty I still continue to be a troublesome suter to you, in the behalfe of a mayd. I should hardly haue made so bold to iterate my request, but such is my nessecity that I am forced to craue your help hearein as speedily as may be my mayd being to goe away vpon may day and I am like to be altogether destitute. I cannot get her to stay a month longer, and I am soe ill and weak that I am like to be put to great straits if I cannot get one by your meanes. I doe not doubt of your care hearein, but yet I make bold to put you in mind, lest you should conceiue my need to be lesse than it is. my husband is willing to stand to what you shall thinke meet to giue I desire to haue my duty and thankfullnesse presented to my father, for the wheat he sent me by the pinace I haue not yet receiued it but by my letter I perceiue there is some for me. I intreat you would be pleased to send those thinges that I formerly writ for. I am ashamed of my boldnes in this and other requests, but the constant experiance of your loue and boundty to me makes me still presume on your favour: I desire the mayd that you provide me may be one that hath been vsed to all kind of work, and must refuse none if she haue skill in a dayrie I shall be the gladder. my Children are well, and my husband who desires to haue his duty and service presented to my father and you. thus intreating your acceptance of these scribled lines I humbley take my leaue, Your dutifull daughter

This is, (If I maye make soe bould with you) that you would be pleased, as to lett some of your servants to be a meanes of sending two hogsheads of provisiones marked ST, which lyes at the Riuers 258mouth, by any vessell that comes vp the Riuer, eyther to Watertowne2 or Newtowne3 or this plantation. And if my brother Oldam be at the Riuers mouth, I suppose if he knowes that it is myne, he will doe me that Curtesye.

Thus fearing I am ouer bould with your Woorshipp heerin, with my duty remembred to your selfe, I take my leaue And Rest Yours to vse to his poore power
