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

Thoughe I writ latly to you yet I can not let this messenger passe without bringing my respects and loue to the. I would willingly haue had my Cosin2 haue stayd here, but I perceiue his affection to Father and Mother will not let him stay from them. I haue furnisht him with such mony as he requiers to carrie him ouer. he is much grone and verie ciuill. I hope you will haue a great deale of comfort of him. it would be well for him if my brother would bread him vp in som calling and then with Gods blessinge howsoeuer the world went, he might make a shift to liue. my wife remembers her tru loue to you, and hath sent such things as you writ for, and she says if she knows your wants you shall haue what she can help you to. and now desiering the almightie to blesse you and yours I leaue you to his protection and rest Your assured louing brother

After my due respect remembred, I have by my Father bin made acquainted with what, in your letter to him, yow write about John Porters busyness. In answer wherto this I returne as formerly: I shall 331endevor to satisfy the debt in the best maner I can, though it was a busyness put vppon me contrary to my desire, and I can truly say I have not received 30s in mony for all his goods and yet I have payd 7li in mony by Goodman Johnson and some depts are yet vnpayed, and the partys for the present vnable to satisfy it, one especially who owes a good summe, had lately his howse and goods burnt. mony we have none with vs, nor means to procure any. The best means I can at present thinke on is corne: which if John Porter will appoynt any Pynace that comes into the river to call for it, I will deliver heere as much corne as the dept comes to at 3s per bushell which is the setled price amonge vs. the cariadge of it downe from vs to Hartford doth vsually cost 6d per bushel, and I alsoe will take order with some of our towne to carry it downe to the Pynace as I shall have direction from him: for I thinke it is as much as in equity can be required of mee to make payment in the place where I received it, and not be put to any further charge or trouble. for a coppy of the will2 I cannot at the present send it because of the messengers hast. Mr. Moxon only tooke some noates from his mouth which he hath, and at his cominge into the Bay in June shall be brought with a coppy of the Inventory. thus forbearinge to be further troublsome at present I rest Yours in all offices of due respect
