ftock, in. this, way of Adventure; and if he pleafe to hearkento my

. i my Computations: the greateft will be, to find a friend fora 
3000 |. {ftock, and thus to be ordered. 
jin the Barbadoes,and to {end a great Cargo of unneceflary things vvere 
to have them lye upon our hands to lols. This todo I. I vould’ have 
you’may buy here in Lewdon, of French Merchants, at reafonable 
| fates and youmay hire poor Journy-men Faylors, here inthe City, 
| chat Weill for vvages, make that Canvasinto Dtavvers,and 
| Petticoats, for men and vvomen Negres. And part of the Canvas , 
and the vvhole of the Kentings,, for fhirts arid dravvers for the Chri- 
{tian men Servants,and Smocks and petticoats forthe vvomen. Some 
other forts. of Linnen,as Holland or Dowvlace, vvill be there very ufe- 
full for Shirts and SmiGeks for the Planters them{elves, vvith their 
Wives and Children. One hundred ponds tere r vvould» have 
beftovv’d, parton vvoollen cloath, both fine and courfe, : 
wonfbire Carfies, and other fathionable ftuffs, fuchas vyill vvell endure 
wearing. Upon AfZonmoth Caps I would have ‘beftowed 251. you 
may befpeak them there in Wales, and have them fent upto London , 
by the waynes at eafie rates. Forty pound I think fit to beftow on 
Irifh Ruggs fuch as are made at Kzlkenmic, and Irifh ftockings, and 
thefe are to be had at St. Fames’s fair at Briffoll; the ftockings are to 
be worne inthe day by the Chriftian fervants, the Ruggs to caft about 
them when they come home at night, fweating and’ wearied, with 
their labour, to lap about them when they reft themfelves’on their 
 inkicks at night , than which nothing is more needful for the 
¥eafons I have formerly given. And thefe may either be fhipt at 
Briftoll, if a thip be.ready bound for Barbados , ‘or fent to London 
by waynes, which is a cheap way of conveyance. ‘Fifty pound I with 
‘may be beftowed-on fhooes , and fome boots to be made at. Nor- 
thampton , and {ent to London in dry fatts by Carts; but a fpecial 
{care muft be taken, thatthey may be made large, forthey will thrink 
__|very much whenthey come into hot Climates. They are to be made 
‘of feveral fizes, for men, women and childrens they muftbe kept dry 
q JUICE Fa 
-- land clofe, or elfe the moiftnefS of the Ayre will catife them to mould. 
_| Gloves vvill fell vvell there, and I vvould have ofall kinds,and ali fizes, 
that are thinne 5 but the moft ufeful, ar¢ thofeof tann’d leather, for 
{they vvill vvath and not fhrink in the vvetting, and vvear very Jong

Now having faid this much, I hold it my.duty, to give what dit 
‘orrefpondent, that can be really honelt,faithful and induftrious,and
