Capt. Leonard Campes came to thenglish howse, and tould me he knew not where the 2 negros weare which came from Nangasaque, which Alvaro Gonsalves and others wrot for; nether thought he it was fitt to retorne them, although he did know where they weare. Unto which I answerd that yf it were my case, as it was his, I would retorne them both, but espetially the one which was our frends slave. But it semeth he will not, nether take hym at 50 R. of 8, as he cost Alvaro Gonsalves.
