Sir,—The Sunneshine came into Dartmouth the fourth of this moneth : she hath beene at Island, 1 and from thence to Groenland, and so to Estotiland, 2 from thence to Desolation, and to our merchants, where she made trade with the people, staying in the countrey twenty dayes. They have brought home five hundred seale skinnes, and an hundred and forty halfe skinnes, and pieces of skinnes. I stand in great doubt of the pinnesse. God be mercifull unto the poore men, and preserve them, if it be his blessed will.
