Sir, Meieting here with Fredericque Hoftman, Admirall of a fleete of eleven ships of Holland bound for Bantam, but now two only in company, of good force and well manned, the rest disperced on the Coast of England, wee haue had some conference about the bad humors begunn betwixt us in Indya. Hee professeth affections of peace and that he hath no instructions to the contrarie and avoweth the arriuall and reception of the states commissioners in England to treat an accord. Wee haue agreed mutually to send our aduices, I to you by him, he to his Generall by the Beare, of what wee heare and that it is probable an vnion wilbe made; hereby on both sides to preuent, if possible, any farther occasions which will not bee so easely quenched. If you fynd in effect as much as he professeth, a man of his place and authoritye may much aduance our desires, so it may bee done with due respects of Honor and the companies seruice. So I committ you to God. Tho. Roe.
