My L^d upon Entering on y^e Goverm^tt displaced all officers
w^ch were [in], upon his comeing here & putt in New officers
made New judges, those w^ch are for Comon Wealth Goverm^tt more
then Kingly: & such whoe are M^r Allens greatestt opposers
as to his rightt, soe he Exspects noe justice done him here
he has bin above a Twelve Month endeavoring for a tryall
cantt obtain itt, doe judge never will if can be avoided,
Hincks &c whome formerly I charged w^th rebellion are
the judges, & am informed design if possible to Starve
M^r Allen & his family; As to M^r Allens condition you are
nott unacquainted w^th. I am Satisfyed as to M^r Masons
rightt w^ch now is M^r Allens; as far as capable designe to
assist him in recovering his rightt, I doe believe his
case must come to England for justice w^ch if doth believe I shall
come w^th itt

if M^r Allen should send an Adress to y^e King I doe humbly beg
yo^r favor in procureing of his requestt & yo^r Kindness
therein shall by me be duely acknowledged

As to News in these partts you will att large have
from my L^d : greatt talks of y^e five Nations &
all other Indians joining in a combination to cutt
the English of, w^ch if they ^doe will destroy all the outt
plantations, the Indians are makeing presentts
from one Nation to another & yore familys goe
ing from the English, y^e which proceedings al
ways bin acted by them before breaking outt in a war
Shall humbly offer; pemaquid belonging to the King
in case the King did send aboutt 200 highlander
Scotts to setle att pemaquid they would be a guard & security for all the Eastern Countrye,
we have bin many years in a defensive warr
consumed our estates; & in case they make a warr
& we be nott of y^e offensive as well as defensive
partt, in a few more years y^e Inhabitantts
mustt quitt the place, & y^e King loose a Countrye
hope some Mehtods in England may be taken
for our security in England, if nott we are
an undone people crave Exscuse for giveing
you the trouble of these lines, I subscribe
