I have recd y^r Letter of 13^th and alltho I
noe way support y^t M^r Boscawen will doe you any
wrong, yet for my satisfaction, & y^t I may not returne
you an answer, at {?randum} I have seene severall {?Deliveries}
to M^r Wither from [deleted] M^r Beckt & yê {?Silvisters}, the consideration
being 463^£: 10^s: 00 which {ând} by a Deede from S^r W^m Cooper yr selfe &
M^r Holled {ît} appears was paid 105^£ to S^r William Cooper {^was paid thee 160³}
130 to Mrs Holled there of all w^ch are {^wch was long} after the Letter you send
[deleted] me a Copy of y^t mentions M^r B^s willingness to pay 460 so as you Mr Clinton
may have his satisfaction for the clearing M^r Holleds debt so as
M^r Clinton may have his satisfaction & desiers M^r Horse to pleade
{^w^th them} accordingly if yt doth not please yê Cap^t may stay till all be ended
by w^ch tis evident M^r Horse was not to pleade {^wth Mr Holles Exrs} & pay yê 460^£ unless
you were satisfied and what greater evidence can there be yt
you did not stay till all was ended then {^M^r Beck & Silver was [illeg]} & yr receiving the 160^£
& {?Covenanting} w^th Sr W^m Cooper & M^r Holled, on behalf of M^r
Holleds Ex^rs Beside I have seene many of M^r Horse Letters about the
time, of yê agreement, & paying yêch gives me full satisfac=
=tion yr complaint is not only unjust, but unseasonable, for if M^r
Boscawon had pmised you 200^£ (as you say) why did you alow
yê money you paid of M^r Horse out of yê 160^£ and say you could not
recollect y^r selfe as to yê money M^r Boscawen sent you w^ch he expected
& wrote M^r Horse to alow out of yê money you paid
[new page]
M^r Boscawon likewise assures me, he never promised you
any pticuler sum {ôf money} other at Oxford, or any other place but
yt he wold be ready to doe you kindess if [deleted] Holleds {^Debt}
[illeg] lost, {ûn}till all yê other Creditors were satisfied which
tis evident was not don but 100^£ were then there mostly
paid them only to give you satisfaction and if you had expected
any more money upon aco^t of M^r Boscawons Letter the
consideration should have [deleted] been put in the Releases {âccording there to} as for
not answering yr Lettr & returning them {^sending them back} he tell me when
he found such returnes for his kindness yr Letter being so unlike
yê pson you wold be {?known}, he thought it did not becom him
to [illeg] or returne such language, as he never recd in from any {^Lettr}
but from you, and therefore once for all, wrote you he wold
no more correspond w^th you, as he thinks he had just reason
& is still of the same minde, if you send him never so
many Lettrs, finding you are little changed the {?same}, tho
you wold have him satisfied, w^thout doeing him right, in
which he is more then confident w^ch he expects, before you
have any other answer from him & of whome you have taken
wrong reasons, as he told M^r Rowe when w^th him I desire not to
[illeg] w^th business yt doth not concerne me & therefor except me from
medling w^th this affaire any more who am yr kinswoman

I have received your Letter of 13^th and allthough I
no way support that M^r Boscawen will do you any
wrong, yet for my satisfaction, & that I may not return
you an answer, at {?randum} I have seen several {?Deliveries}
to M^r Wither from [deleted] M^r Beckt & yê {?Silvisters}, the consideration
being 463^£: 10^s: 00 which {ând} by a Deed from Sir William Cooper your self &
M^r Holled {ît} appears was paid 105^£ to Sir William Cooper {^was paid thee 160³}
130 to Mrs Holled there of all which are {^which was long} after the Letter you send
[deleted] me a Copy of that mentions M^r B^s willingness to pay 460 so as you Mr Clinton
may have his satisfaction for the clearing M^r Holleds debt so as
M^r Clinton may have his satisfaction & desires M^r Horse to plead
{^with them} accordingly if that doth not please yê Captain may stay till all be ended
by which tis evident M^r Horse was not to plead {^with Mr Holles Executors} & pay yê 460^£ unless
you were satisfied and what greater evidence can there be that
you did not stay till all was ended then {^M^r Beck & Silver was [illeg]} & your receiving the 160^£
& {?Covenanting} with Sir William Cooper & M^r Holled, on behalf of M^r
Holleds Executors Beside I have seen many of M^r Horse Letters about the
time, of yê agreement, & paying y^{e=tion yourr complaint is not only unjust, but unreasonable, for if M^r
Boscawon had prpmised you 200^£ (as you say) why did you allow
yê money you paid of M^r Horse out of yê 160^£ and say you could not
recollect your self as to yê money M^r Boscawen sent you which he expected
& wrote M^r Horse to allow out of yê money you paid

tis evident was not done but 100^£ were then there mostly
paid them only to give you satisfaction and if you had expected
any more money upon account of M^r Boscawens Letter the
consideration should have [deleted] been put in the Releases {âccording there to} as for
not answering your Letter & returning them {^sending them back} he tell me when
he found such returns for his kindness your Letter being so unlike
yê person you would be {?known}, he thought it did not become him
to [illeg] or return such language, as he never received in from any {^Letter}
but from you, and therefore once for all, wrote you he would
no more correspond with you, as he thinks he had just reason
& is still of the same mind, if you send him never so
many Letters, finding you are little changed the {?same}, though
you would have him satisfied, without doing him right, in
which he is more then confident which he expects, before you
have any other answer from him & of whom you have taken
wrong reasons, as he told M^r Rowe when with him I desire not to
[illeg] with business that doth not concern me & therefore except me from
