+"On considering how to get back the remaining estate from all parts of the South Seas, the Court resolves to dispatch a ship of at least 400 tons to perform this work, provided letters and orders can be procured from the Dutch to their people in those parts to allow the English to proceed securely in their trade without hindrance or molestation ; Alderman Edward Wood offers the ''Love'' on behalf of himself and the other owners for this business, if the said letters can be procured."<ref>'A Court of Committees for the United Joint Stock, September 16, 1657' ("Court Book'', vol. xxiii, p. 596), in Ethel Bruce Sainsbury (ed.), A Calendar of the Court Minutes of the East India Company, 1655-1659 (Oxford, 1916), p. 166</ref>

-Edward Wood, merchant, citizen and grocer of London, wrote his will in 1658.  However, it was not proved until 1667.  Despite finding himself in 1658 "somewhat altered from my former health," Wood remained an active merchant in the early 1660s, although he may have begun to reduce his commercial activities.  By 1663 he had moved out of London and started to build a mansion house in Littleton, Middlesey.  The mansion at Littleton was completed circa 1665 and survived until 1873/74.<ref>[http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cgi-bin/vcdf/detail?coll_id=18628&inst_id=118&nv1=browse&nv2=sub AIM 25: Wood Family: GB 0074 ACC/0421: held at London Metropolitan Archives]</ref>
