Abstract of Collonel Copley's Letter to my
Lord Presid^t dated the 20^th of June 1692.

He makes his excuse for not having paid his duty to my
Lord before he left England.
When he came to Deal the Fleet was sail'd he went from
thence to Portsm^th where he met with the Alborough Ketch in
which he had a very ill passage to Virginia.
He hopes when his proceedings have been laid before the
Councill their Lordships will see he has not been wanting in
their Majesty's service.
He understands by M^r Code that a Commission is sent to
Cap^tNicholson to supersede him at which he is much troubled
till he knows the truth of it.
