Jones I Wrote to you by Coll. Ludwell since when no Oppertunity hath presented until now I have read several Letters from you and have also had the perusal of your Pacquet Directed to the Earl of Craven and take notice of the Letters you writ to Mr. Musgrave and Mr. Trott in which Pacquet Coppys of them were inclosed and have also seen the Coppy of the Letter you wrote to Sir Robert Robertson Governour of Barmudas I was in hopes you had seen your Error in writing such Letters as that was to Sir Robert But those you sent since to Simon Musgrave and Mr. Samuel Trott Convince the Lords you have not but persist in the same indiscretion For no man that sees these Letters but must conclude they came from the Pen of a Man out of his sences And that you Expose the Reputation of the Lords by them For what will the world think of their Employing a Man as Governour that hath no more prudence than to send such Extravagant Letters up and down the world and send Coppys of them to the Lords Proprietors that they also may be witnesses of his Indiscretion They to vindicate themselves have thought fit to Impower Mr. Nicholas Trott to be Governour of the Bahama Islands to whom you are to Surrender the Government I am heartily sorry it should so fall out The Lords have a great kindness and respect for you and will be willing to do what is in their p●wer for you but they are answerable to the King for the good Government of the Places granted to them and cann●t answer the not doing what they have now done Write me what you think may be of advantage for you that they can do and I will get it dispach'd for you I am your very Affectionate Friend P.

Verse I am filled with Astonishment at your strange Vnaffectedness with the Relation that hath been made to you of the Agents Monstrous Villanies and the patients dreadful Sufferings in this Case which far exceeds the Levits in heinous Aggravations especially if you consider how much you have contributed to both by putting the too Edged Sword of Supreme Authority into the hand of an Indigent-Vitious-Frantick-Fool who hath daily used it to the dishonour of your Lordships and destruction of the Kings best Subjects inhabiting your Province ever since he was admitted to the Government and above all others to the ruin of me who once more apply my self to you for Redress the which if you do not speedily grant me I shall be obliged to bring my Complaints against your Delegates and your selves before the King and Counsel to whom Sir Peter Colleton in his Letter to Jones hath acknowledged you are accountable for the Government of the Provinces granted to you by the Charters of His Majesties Royal Predecessors Your Lordships Answer to this my last Adress is Humbly Expected and Desired by your Actively and Possively well-deserving tho' Ignobly and Vnmercifully disregarded Servant T.
