S:r This is Transcript of my last w:ch though you carried yo:r selfe I thought fitt to transcribe, least yo:r very many other important affaires should have putt it out of yo:r mind I have little more to add than Congratulate yo:r arrivall unto Sur:t Since I know itt needlesse to Comend Cap:t Millett y:ew ?boare unto yo:r freindshipp & I hope hee will now make yo:r owne a better voyadge than y:e last from Bantam whence o:r small Stock was remitted back p Exch:a at 5:s 6d p Doll:r for want of goods to Invest it in. Wee have p:d for every 1/6 p:t of y:e owners Stock now 150:ll yo:rs at y:d Instance of yo:r Sister being to bee made Good at Surr:t as y:e rest shall advance soo y:t you runn no hasard thither nor I trust wee much when you have showed yo:r respect, unto Nicho:s Millett & those concerned w:th him, pray bee soo kind as you can unto poore Rob:t ffisher who w:th much adoo hath gott into a shipp againe to kiss yo:r hand.

Concerning my Emeralds I can say nomore than I have already leaving it who unto yo:r selfe to act as you please & to sell them at price Curr:t hopeing that if I loose by sale I may gett by retourne.

If you shall judge mee capable of dooing yo:u any service Comand me freely & you shall finde y:t I am

S:r
Yo:r affectionate ffreind & serv:t
John Servys
