ever villain did, upon which alter the retaking of the country I was 

 called before a court martial and there tried, where I was acquitted with 

 exceeding great honour, they presenting me unasked with an attestation 

 of my honourable carriage in that service ; and Sandford afterward denied 

 the report, aud in the presence of Sir John Harman and the Lieutenant 

 General, gave me his recantation under his hand. 



Sir, whilst I was in Barbados, I would have perfected accounts with 

 Mr. Wallwyn your attorney, but all my papers being gone before in the 

 Willoughby I could not, I have now sent him my account between us, 

 in which I have charged you debtor for 5000 lb. sugar, which I gave Mr. 

 Treffrye, or else he would have confiscated that which was in Mr. Westrope's 

 hand, Captain Marten's executor, and also that 4500 lb. in Captain 

 Whitaker's hands ; what remains still in Westrope's hands I have secured, 

 being about 13,000 lb, aud I am lately advised I shall receive it. I have 

 desired Mr. Walwyn to remit you a copy of the account for the clearing, 

 of which I have by very great providence all the papers preserved. 



Sir, I am now beginning to hew a new fortune out of the woods in 

 Antigua, where hardship must be my fare for a time till I caa make goods 

 and raise a stock, and till then I hope you will forbear the balance of the 

 account I owe you. 



If I may serve you or any friends of yours that comes into these 

 parts let me beg the employ, and I shall do it most faithfuDy, being still 

 very sensible of the great obliging favours undeservedly received from you.
