Summary
Good M. Sanderson, with Gods great mercy I have made my safe returne in health, with all my companie, and have sailed threescore leagues further then my determination at my departure. I have bene in 73 degrees, finding the Sea all open, and forty leagues betweene land and land.
The passage is most probable, the execution easie, as at my comming you shall fully know.
Yesterday, the 15 of September, I landed all wearie, therefore I pray you pardon my shortnesse.
Sandridge, this 16 of September, anno 1587.
