Having given your formerly the trouble of many lres I blush
to be still guilty of the same Rudeness and humbly beg you'll
please to pardon me for these few lines, w^ch address them
selves to you for a favour w^ch I am assured you will not be
unwilling to grant me. That w^ch I presume to beg at your
hands is that you'll favour me so far that should M^r W^m Penn,
(who is suddenly Bound for England as he hath lately assured
me) move his Ma^tie for any further Order and Comands in
relacon to the Bounds of Maryland & Pensilvania that nothing
be granted until I am heard at the Council Board, and that
nothing be obtained by M^r Penn to the preiudice of my Interest
on delaware River where M^r Penn pretends to hold a great
part of my Province by Title (as he saith) from his Highness
the Duke of York: In May or June next I will make my
personal appearance, and make my defence w^ch I begg I may
have granted me for the unsettled condicon of my Affaires here
will not allow me to take a voyage this shipping in obtaining
this favor for me you'l infinitly oblige
Most Hon^d S^r
