April 10, 1665. From Captain Breedon’s House at Boston. Col. George Cartwright to Col. Nicholls: “This day, a Quaker (my country-woman) told me before Captain Breedon, that she had heard several say yᵗ I was a Papist ... and that Sir Robᵗ. Carr kept a naughty woman; I examined her if I had not kept one too, or if she knew me not to be a Papist.” E. Hooton writes: “They said that Cartwright, that was one of the Comissionʳˢ, was a papist, or a Jesuit, but hee being my Country man, J did vindicate him, and told them that J knew noe such thinge” (MS. in =D.= Portfolio iii. 43). [88] Ann Richardson was, by her first marriage, Ann Burden. After some years of married life in Mass., Thomas and Ann Burden returned to England, their native land, and settled at Bristol, where the husband died. His widow crossed the Atlantic again about 1657, and, with Mary Dyer, visited Mass., whence they were both banished. About 1665, as Ann Richardson, she again visited New England. [89] Swarth. MSS. iii. 104. [90] Swarth. MSS. iii. 101. Fox adds to the endorsement: “shee died in the trouth.” [91] Jane Nicholson (d. 1712) was the wife of Joseph Nicholson, of Bootle, Lancs. They visited the New World in 1659, and again, for several years, they were in New England. See Camb. _Jnl._; _Household Account Book of Sarah Fell of Swarthmoor Hall_, 1915. [92] John Endicott (c. 1588-1665), first Governor of New England, will go down to the end of time as the arch-opponent of New England Quakerism. See _Annals of Salem_, 1845, where there is a portrait; _Chronicle of the Pilgrim Fathers_; _Jnl. F.H.S._ xii.; etc. [93] _Hist._ i. 259.

[96] MS. in =D.= (Portfolio iii, 63) [97] The Nottingham and Mansfield Quarterly Meeting was long held at the house of Timothy Garland. Letters for Friends were at times addressed: “To be left at Timothy Garlands at the Green Dragon in Mansfeild.” (LOCKER-LAMPSON, _A Quaker Post-bag_, 1910, pp. 48, 51. See also THE JOURNAL, iv., v.) [98] MS. in =D.= (Portfolio iii. 81) The difficulties and delays of travel on land and sea at this period are illustrated by another letter of Samuel Hooton, dated 4th of June, 1666, in which he tells us that the ship on which he sailed—“the royall exchang”—was “staying in the harbar at the Kows for the wind, how long i may staye I know not.” MS. in =D.= (Portfolio iii. 82) [99] Richard Bellingham (1592?-1672) was Deputy-Governor of Massachusetts from 1635, and Governor from 1665 to his death. [100] MS. in =D.= (Portfolio iii. 80). The Journal appears in full in _The Friend_ (Phila.), lxxvii. (1904), 204.
