Papenfuse:
Setting the Limits of Arbitrary Power
Secretary John Lewger
[As] for the cedar desired, I know none here worth sending, as I told your
Lordship by my last. For the birds, I have no cage to put them in
when they be taken, nor none about me dextrous in the taking of them, nor
feeding of them, and I have myself so little leisure to look after such
things, that I can promise little concerning thme; and for the arrows,
the Govenor will take care, who hath all the commerce with them; and, for
my part, I scarce see an Indian or an arrow in half a year; neither when
I do see them have I language enough to ask an arrow of them.
