Gentlemen. I have taken the deposition of nine men to
satisfy your honours that I am clear of the facts laid to my
charge by a certain James Bosley which proves my innocency
and also have sent you this proceeding of Joseph Hilton from
his own hands, how ileagel they took his sheep and have sent
his ussage to a child of Charles Gorsuch on his own planta-
tion, and Gentlemen I could send you many others of the like
but not to treble your Honours, I shall conclude with these
few words that its very ill convenient for me to attend, at
present hoping that your Honours will be satisfied, if not I
will come when weather will permitt, and with due respect I
shall be yours to serve. Vin. Trapnall.
