in_o all_o i_o now_o engage_v in_o i_o find_v by_o your_o last_o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o former_a what_o i_o be_o to_o insist_v upon_o in_o the_o business_n of_o surinam_n and_o do_v it_o to_o

upon_o the_o point_n of_o carry_v off_o our_o slave_n admit_v nothing_o new_a that_o i_o remember_v beside_o what_o i_o relate_v to_o you_o from_o our_o former_a conference_n but_o upon_o the_o

the_o mischief_n the_o major_n have_v practise_v against_o they_o there_o and_o of_o the_o reason_n there_o have_v be_v for_o the_o state_n of_o zealand_n sentence_n against_o he_o and_o particular_o that_o part_n that_o he_o shall_v never_o return_v thither_o which_o he_o be_v sure_a they_o will_v be_v resolute_a in_o and_o after_o that_o of_o the_o little_a appearance_n they_o shall_v suffer_v
