Printed and Sold by Andrew Sowle at the Crooked-Billet in Holloway-Lane in Shoreditch and at several Stationers in London 1683. A Letter from William Penn Proprietary and Governour of PENNSYLVANIA c. My Kind Friends THE Kindness of yours by the Ship Thomas and Anne doth much oblige me for by it I perceive the Interest you take in my Health and Reputation and the prosperous Beginnings of this Province which you are so kind as to think may much depend upon them In return of which I have sent you a long Letter and yet containing as brief an Account of My self and the Affairs of this Province as I have been able to make In the first place I take notice of the News you sent me whereby I find some Persons have had so little Wit and so much Malice as to report my Death and to mend the matter dead a Jesuit too One might have reasonably hop'd that this Distance like Death would have been a protection against Spite and Envy and indeed Absence being a kind of Death ought alike to secure the Name of the Absent as the Dead because they are equally unable as such to defend themselves But they that intend Mischief do not use to follow good Rules to effect it However to the great Sorrow and Shame of the Inventors I am still Alive and No Jesuit and I thank God very well And without Injustice to the Authors of this I may venture to infer That they that wilfully and falsly Report would have been glad it had been So. But I perceive many frivolous and Idle Stories have been Invented since my Departure from England which perhaps at this time are no more Alive than I am Dead But if I have been Vnkindly used by some I left behind me I found Love and Respect enough where I came an universal kind Welcome every sort in their way For here are some of several Nations as well as divers Judgments Nor were the Natives wanting in this for their Kings Queens and Great Men both visited and presented me to whom I made suitable Returns c. For the PROVINCE the general Condition of it take as followeth I. The Country it self in its Soyl Air Water Seasons and Produce both Natural and Artificial is not to be despised The Land containeth divers sorts of Earth as Sand Yellow and Black Poor and Rich also Gravel both Loomy and Dusty and in some places a fast fat Earth like to our best Vales in England especially by Inland Brooks and Rivers God in his Wisdom having ordered it so that the Advantages of the Country are divided the Back-Lands being generally three to one Richer than those that lie by Navigable Waters We have much of another Soyl and that is a black Hasel Mould upon a Stony or Rocky bottom II. The Air is sweet and clear the Heavens serene like the South-parts of France rarely Overcast and as the Woods come by numbers of People to be more clear'd that it self will Refine III. The Waters are generally good for the Rivers and Brooks have mostly Gravel and Stony Bottoms and in Number hardly credible We have also Mineral Waters that operate in the same manner with Barnet and North-hall not two Miles from Philadelphia IV. For the Seasons of the Year having by God's goodness now lived over the Coldest and Hottest that the Oldest Liver in the Province can remember I can say something to an English Understanding 1 st Of the Fall for then I came in I found it from the 24th of October to the beginning of December as we have it usually in England in September or rather like an English mild Spring From December to the beginning of the Moneth called March we had sharp Frosty Weather not foul thick black Weather as our North-East Winds bring with them in England but a Skie as clear as in Summer and the Air dry cold piercing and hungry yet I remember not that I wore more Clothes than in England The reason of this Cold is given from the great Lakes that are fed by the Fountains of Canada The Winter before was as mild scarce any Ice at all while this for a few dayes Froze up our great River Delaware From that Moneth to the Moneth called June we enjoy'd a sweet Spring no Gusts but gentle Showers and a fine Skie Yet this I observe that the Winds here as there are more Inconstant Spring and Fall upon that turn of Nature than in Summer or Winter From thence to this present Moneth which endeth the Summer commonly speaking we have had extraordinary Heats yet mitigated sometimes by Cool Breezese The Wind that ruleth the Summer-season is the South-West but Spring Fall and Winter 't is rare to want the wholesome North Wester seven dayes together And what-ever Mists Fogs or Vapours foul the Heavens by Easterly or Southerly Winds in two Hours time are blown away the one is alwayes followed by the other A Remedy that seems to have a peculiar Providence in it to the Inhabitants the multitude of Trees yet standing being-liable to retain Mists and Vapours and yet not one quarter so thick as I expected V. The Natural Produce of the Country of Vegetables is Trees Fruits Plants Flowers The Trees of most note are the black Walnut Cedar Cyprus Chestnut Poplar Gumwood Hickery Sassafrax Ash Beech and Oak of divers sorts as Red White and Black Spanish Chestnut and Swamp the most durable of all of All which there is plenty for the use of man The Fruits that I find in the Woods are the White and Black Mulbery Chestnut W●●lnut Plumbs Strawberries Cranberries Hurtleberries and Grapes of divers sorts The great Red Grape now ripe called by
