I Am Troubled with such a Cold and Hoarsness, that not being able to Speak much, nor in a Condition to stay any time here; I shall there­fore only tell you, that as I was ever Firm and Faithful to my King, so I was ever Zealous for the Honour and Interest of my Countrey: And at this time I hop'd to have done Acceptable Service to both. For I can boldly say, that I have Power and Instructions, for every thing that ap­pear'd Necessary or Convenient for the Good and Advantage of the Nation, as to their Religion, Property, Liberty, Trade, and particularly what could be of most solid Use to our African and Indian Company. But several things have occurr'd, wherein I find my self obligd to Consult His Majesty, and so of necessity must Adjourn for some Days.
