Letter from Nathaniel Ward to John Winthrop Jr. (1606-1676)
Description
Sir, - I receiued your loving letter in Mr. Hall's behalfe: I was neuer against his having a lott amongst vs, nor to my remembrance haue spoken any thinge to hinder him; only the company that he brought to towne, & his manner of cominge, before the towne knew any such thinge, was obserued & disliked. I neuer heard [a] sillable of that yow mention in your letter concerning a mayde in Ireland, till the tyme of opening your letter; att that instant Mr. Dudley was telling me of it.
