The Letter of Mrs. White to M. Bayliff follows.

Kinde Friend,

I Am very sensible of your realities and endeared friendship towards us, you shall finde us as truly yours in whatsoever lieth within our powers, when opportunity shall honour us with some ample expressions, whereby we may expresse in deed rather then word what we would be. Dear friend, To shew gratefulnesse for all favors, and the truth of our profession, which is no lesse then the height of humane society, in which (though darkly) I will walk as far as I know to all, but especially I have observed your desires, though not without trouble, and I must tell you sensibly also how much it reflects upon me, knowing my self so grosly abused, yet am as I am, it must lie upon more worth to requite and aquit, then I have yet found acted towards me from my dearest friend; we shall be glad to see you, I doubt till two daies before the Assi∣ses I shall not get Bess and Goody Brewer, then I hope you will all meet here; till when, and ever be most confident I am sincerely,

Your Friend both in life and death, M. W.
