The Answere.

Sir

^[1]Yours of the 7^th of June I recd and wonder much att Mr. Allertons [ neglect in shewing ] you the letter and discharge concerning the cowe; assone as he retoumes [ I shall speake ] with him aboute it, and then write to you againe.

Concerning your protest against my predecessour, Mounsr. Kieft, aboute [ some passages att the ] Sowth river, called Deleware, I doubt not but what he did was vppon [ warrantable grownds,  ] and made yow a sufficient answere, but concerning our right there, and [ of my intentions of ] maintaining it, I have allready written to the governours of the [ Massachusets & Plimmouth, ] who I suppose will acquaint the commissioners with it.

Whereas you write to me concerning your countriemens trading heere, and pa[ ssing to ] and from Virginia and Deleware, etc. I haue allready written & graunted as much as I [ can ] or dare doe, vntill I haue further order from my sovereignes and masters, and am not to be responsible to any but them, nor regulated by any but them.

July the 2d, (1649,) st: no:
