Synopsis
Wright addresses his letter to the “Dearest Philanthropy” and signs it as “Redemption Doudle or Benjamin Wright”. He is glad to know of Lopez’s safe arrival in Leicester and of the also safe arrival of the remainder of his fleet under the convoy of Jacob Rodrigues Rivera. Wright will plan to go to the “Monpellier of America” and meet Lopez, “crowned with success and finally released from littigation for noncompliance with the righteous acts of a Boston Parliament”.
