But very much of mons:b Andrewes proceedings, to very great dislike, yett thy Comfort they Generally Conclude w:th, y:t they hope speedily to heare from S:r George Oxinden (sic) from whome á great Deale of respect is Intimated

Within 4: dayes wee shall know our New Governor Etc:a & Comittees w:th in eight dayes but truely I hope Cap:t Millett will not stay soo long for hee is late allready. If hee Chance to stay you shall bee advised y:e same night tis knowne of w:t shall bee needfull I have endeavoured all I could to serve yo:r Sister Madam Dallyson about your Busyeness she hath recd y:e money of yo:r Oyles of w:ch shee gives yoou an aacco:t I presume; S:r my Wife[1] Desireth her respects to bee presented you & hath sent you a small case w:th 9 litte; Bottles But shee hopes very good Cordialls; it is made up in a box to you directed; & I hope Cap:t Millett will have a case of it, pray accept of it, w:th y:e same affection tis sent yo:w soo with my sallutes , wishes of all health & hono:r & happynesse; as long as I am, I will Love, Hono:r & serve you my noble freind; farewell S:r Geo: , I rest
