1 letter from Mr. Ed. Willmot, of 11th August, from Langasaque.
October 1.—I wrot 2 letters, one to Mr. Wickham and an other to Mr. Nealson and Mr. Osterwick and retorned them per same expres, unto whome Mr. Eaton delivered 3 ichebos; and he said Mr. Wickham delivered hym 60 mas, wherof he spent 43 mas per the way. And Mr. Wilson, Jno. Cook, Wm. Sweetland, Jno. Hawtry, our bongew, and others, to the halfe of our company, I sent away directly towardes Miaco. And Capt. Adames, Mr. Eaton, and my selfe retorned againe towardes Edo, and lodged at Phebe. We gave 1000 gins to the servantes at Orengaua, for Capt. Adames nor his wife would let us pay nothing for diet.
October 2.—This mornyng fayre calme wether, or rather a littell wind easterly till about nowne, and then the wind vered northerly, a greate gust all the rest of the day, but not so much per night.
By meanes of this storme (we being onward on our way towardes Edo per water) we were forced to run over the sholes right ashore, not without danger; so that it was dark night before we got our thinges on land, and went to a towne in the way 4 leagues short of Edo, called Cowa Saky;[185] where we had bad lodging and worse fare.
We paid for our diet at Phebie with our hors hier from Oringaua and geven in the howse, viz.: 2 ichebos in gould and 1000 gins, paid out per Mr. Eaton. And for our boate hier to Cowa Sackey 1 ichebo, and 400 gins geven to a pilot to help us ashore in a place to land our goodes.
I forgot to note downe how Mrs. Adames sent powdered beefe, fysh, and bread, with rise, after us to Phebie.
October 3.—We went to the secretary Oyen Donos howse to have spoaken with hym about our occation of retorne, but were perswaded per his men to attend his coming to the howse of justice, and there might speake to hym and the rest as they entred; which we did, but were referred of for answer till the next mornyng. So from thence we went to Codgskin Donos, but fownd Inga Dono, the Cheefe Justis of Japon, arived from Miaco and com to vizet hym. So we could not speake with hym.
Also we met there a Spaniard, com from the iland near Langasaque, where he was arived in a small shipp by contrary wynds going to Manilla, and might not be sufferd to goe out againe without lycence from the Emperour.
