About a year since Captain Potter spake to me to desire some money for a good use, for a poor Scotchman who was to leave this Nation, his name was Sterks, but he was no Agent for any in Scotland that I know of: I gave Captain Potter Ten shillings to give to him.
In the month of July, 1650. or thereabouts, there was a rough-draft of a Letter read in my house, intended to be sent to the Church of Scotland, by whom it was written, I know not, by whom it was read I remember not, I heard but a part of it read, The substance of that part of the Letter which I heard, was to signify the great sufferings that many of the Brethren here were under, what snares and dangers we were daily in; yet to assure them of our steadfastness to the Covenant, to which end we desired the help of their prayers, promising them ours: I declared my self against the sending away of this Letter, yet it was (as I heard) written afterwards by Mr. William Drake, and that with Sack in a Table Book, or Paper Book, and sent away by one Col. Bampfield (whose face I never saw) and without my knowledge or consent carried by him into Scotland: There were present at this meeting, Cap. Potter, Doctor Drake, Major Adams, Major Alford Mr. Sterks, Mr. Jeaquel, Mr. Gibbons, Cap. Far, and my self, with some others whom I remember not.
