29. her goods; and in case shee did ˹doe˺ not very good provision for steeving
30. she may stay as longe againe as shee and need otherwise to do about
31. her weeke yet oftentimes something may breake or faile and cause
32. delay and otherwise hee cannot answer.
33. To the 13th that sometimes some galls came not good from Aleppo, namely
