New Hampshire October. 16th 1684

Sir.

I receiued your kind Letter, wherin you are pleased to giue me
farther assurance of your ffreindship; and att this time the circumstance, of my [crossed out, illegible]
affaires make me presume to call upon you for itt, by requesting you to doe what good
offices you can for me to their Lordships. as far as Justice & equity will permitt

These inclosed papers are to show my inocence as to the charge of my factious
Enimys here. As their Lordships. are zealouse for Justice, soe I doubt not but they will
be so farr tender of my reputation, that if the Complainants make not out their
Charge, there may be directions giuen for me to haue my remedy att Law, Mr.
Randolph has a Letter of Attorney from me, but I haue very good reasons to barr
his acting in any respect for me which shall be comunicated to you hereafter, which I
pray signify to their Lordships that I doe reuoake my Letter of Attorney

Sir I am
your most faithfull & humble Seruant.
Edw Cranfield

As yett the Kings Letter is not come
to hand, I haue giuen my aduersaries
notice what affidauits I haue taken in
my own defence; & Mr Chamberlain
hath Order to giue them Copies.
