ARTICLES DE PEKIN ET CAETESET

nne grande métamorphose en lui, dans le temps de eette lettre que, dix ans après, Messire Walter Saley, Gonvemeur, écrit à la Justice. After our harty cammendaçanx Whereas I understand that tkere is a dissentùm in the IsUmd between Mr. Jean Carient and AhraK Poulet^ hU son4n4aw ; as lam $arry to heare €f%t^ so lam désirons that there may be an attonement^ the rather because of the ingratitude qf the sonne in law to accuse Mr. Carteret of his unwarthinesse in Justice. And for my part I protest I never coneeived anjf iU of Mr. Carteret^ but havefaund him honest and very suffident at the Court and elsewhere^ in foUowiny ihose affaires wkich he hath undertaken. Therefore I mil hâve him to continue in the charge andnot to desist by any man's malicious accusations, or to bê remoted fnm doiny of Justice. And that if kis innocençy shall appearcj as it now seemeth to me, that yen will upon examinaçon and yood regard ofkis crédit^ cause satisfaction to be mode accordiny to the qualifie of the ofensej as the Lawes and Custames ofthe IsUmd doe permitt^ and informer iimes hath been accustomed. Where-in you must hâve especiall care, that there may be no partiaUitie, but Justice^ administered^ accordiny to the Lawes. And so I commit you to God. Ih>m my house at Shirebome the 26th of Sq^tember, 1601. Your very Umny friend and Oovemor, W. Baley.
