I thanke you for your loving letter and doe blesse God for peace and health to you and yours: I am confident you having spent your selfe and estate in this honourable service; that yt will redounde to your greater creditt and honour with God and man, then if you had gayned riches as other Governours doe both in Virginea and elswhere, and yt will rise vp in Judgement against extorting Governours that shalbe sett over the people in succeeding generations, when your selfe shalbe at rest reaping the fruits of your present labours;

The noate that Edr. Dillingham gave you, I never saw yt. I pray therefore take his affidavit. yt had ben done here if wee could haue mett with mr. Endicott, who is much trobled with a Cough and Cold and cannot be at this Court. He remembereth his trew love and service to your selfe and my sister.

I cannot leave my wife now to attend Dillinghams buisines and I feare if I should haue ben there, the tryall would be putt of with one devise or other because I did not serve mr. Saltonstall and his partner to the Court. If he can he will keepe Dillingham from you. I pray keepe the affidavit or send yt me for I can depose he would haue sworne to yt if wee could haue founde mr. Endicott. Yeasterday my wife was in a feavor, this day shee is pretyly well; so with my service to your selfe my sister and all yours I rest Your verie loving brother
