letters from the sayd Jaques Ribaud and Henry Bardett<br />
whereby the sayd Ribaud and Bardett have often<br />
advised him amongst other things that they were advised by a letter<br />
which they received from Bastian Johnson of Lisbone dated the 27th<br />
of March 1637 stile novo, that there was laden for their accompte by the sayd Johnson<br />
abord the sayd shipp the ''Salvadore''<br />

directions that assoone as the sayd goods came to their hands, they should<br />

were reallye and trulye laden for the proper accompte of the sayd<br />

interest in them, which he is induced soe to beleive by reason of many<br />
letters which he hath received from the sayd Ribaud and Bardett concerninge<br />
the same goods, and for that he hath had correspondence with them<br />
for these two yeares last past, and hath since the warrs betwixt<br />

to the vallue of fourtye thousand pounds sterling and upwards, laden<br />
abord severall shipps at Lisbone and other parts of Spayne and Portugall<br />

by him and his sayd partner have bene sayd in the bills of ladinge<br />
to be for the accompte of the sayd John Gorriou, and yet all the<br />
