[Page 1]

This is the second trouble of this
nature, I have made bold to giue you, proceeding
from one and the same cause, my Ambition of
serueing you, In which at present have no
other meanes of demonstrating those my desires
then by acquainting you, at the last Generall
court held in Aprill Sr Henry Chichelly
his Maiesties Lieutenant Gouernur caused your Pattent
of surveyer and Auditor Generall of his Maiesties
plantations to be produced and read In full
councell, and his most sacred Maiesties gra
tious letter therein, as alsoe the Lords of the
Treasury for enforcement of the same
all directed to his Excellency the Lord Culpeper
who wee were fully assured long ere that tyme
was well Informed (and that In the most fit
tenst manner by your selfe) In all that related
therevnto.

I presume Mr Auditor Bacon hath giuen you
an account that the sallery by your Pattent est
blished is In his hands, which vpon directon heell
readyly answear.

Sr I wish my selfe worthy (either In that or
any other affaire) of your commands, In which
if you please to honour mee, doe it with this
assurance, that I will euer be found.
