Unsigned, but author may be Samuel Waldo, Francis Waldo, Isaac Winslow, or Thomas Flucker, as the letter is a response to a letter Bollan wrote to them (see GLC02437.09014). Thank him for going to all the trouble of submitting a petition to His Majesty and the Court for receiving compensation for a portion of land. Are unsure how much of a financial recompense is suitable to pay him, so ask him to mention a sum.
