To my assured louing Brother Mr. John Winthrop att Boston present this
Louing and good brother,

I hope you vnderstand by my letter and by Mr. Tinker what mony I haue disburst since the sayle of your land. I haue payd since I receiued your last letter XXli to Mr. Kerby, and a 100li to Captaine Raynsborow, and I was with Mr. Harris att the Signe of Kathern wheale in gratious streete to haue payd him a 100li according to your direction, but he heard nothing of it, nor had no authoritie to receiue it, soe I keepe it in my handes, and since that time I haue binn sent to by one Mr. Cortman for a 120li but haueing no directions from you to pay it him, I did denie him, but I tould him that there was a 100li in my handes, which I would keepe till I heard whether you would haue me pay it him or Mr. Harris. I haue set doune this 100li in my account to you as if I had payd it to Mr. Harris, but I doe acknowledg I haue it in my handes and will neither pay it to Harris, nor Cortman till I heare from you which of them you would haue, to haue it. My Cosin Deane Winthrop not lyking a tedious sea voyage was set a shore att Maligo and is com safe to me in to England I know not whether he can prouide to com in this ship but he sayth he will make speede to you. I will send you a boy or two when he coms if I can get them but I know not what wages you use to giue there, nor how long you would haue me indent with them to serue you. I will doe my best, and if I faile in anie thing you must pardon my ignorance. I send you my accounts by which you may see what is layd out of the 1300li and what is remayning. The mony that is remayning in my handes I desier to keep for my sister, and the yonger Childrens portions if you please but not soe strictly but that if you haue occasion to vse 30li or 40li you may haue it with all my hart for I protest brother I loue you from my hart and tender your reputation as my owne. I thank God my selfe and all my familie are in good health. my wife desiers your prosperitie and remembers her faithfull loue to you. The Parlament is yet siting and there is an act past for to haue a parlament every third yeare. 4 subsidies are granted and the Leiutenant of Ierland is now vppon his tryall, but nothing yet concluded on. It is reported that the Bishops shall haue no more voices in parlament. The Scots are still at New Castle. what I heare more you shall know by my Cosin Deane. and now desiering the almightie 330to power his blessings plentifully vppon you I rest Your assured louing brother
