About a moneth since I wrote to you and now within a few daies it came to my hands againe yet haue I sent it, being glad of the present 440opportunity by mr. Paddy to salute you and all yours in the Lord Jesus And becawse we would saue your Goverment a labor to send to us for the money due by bond from mr. Bradford my selfe etc. to your Goverment upon Mr. Andrews gift;2 I haue given mr. Paddy a bill of exchange for the discharge of it, onely becawse I know not the exact sum I haue left a blanck for it, and given him authority to insert it; That so he may take up the bond, upon the delivery of the bill to your selfe.

We heard you were upon your gard but becawse we had no notice from your selfe about it it did not trowble us. We heare you have news from Newhaven and Coneetacut. I hope you will impart it to us if there be anithing materiall; however shall be glad to heare of our brethren there.

Thus with my prayers to the Almighty for the continuance and increase of his mercies towards us, humbly take leaue and rest Your assured
