Your are pleased to say that this breach with the Dutch will much hinder the comp:a, and that their affares are not so well managed at ffort S:t George and Bantam as they ought to bee, w:ch is very true, but as we are hindred, yet thankes be to God that by your prudent managm:t our Surratt Shipes are com well, and the licke good suckcesse God has given to our Coast Bay & Bantam shipes , who were all in safety with us a while[2]
