June 19, 1699._[1] [Footnote 1: Public Record Office, C.O. 5:860, no. 64 IV.; a copy certified by Bellomont, and endorsed, "Copy of a Memorial of Mr. Campbell who had been sent by the Earl of Bellomont to Captain Kidd, about what Kidd had said to him.... Referred to in the Earl of Bellomont's Letter of the 26th July 1699. Received [_i.e._, by the Board of Trade] September 26th, Read 26th, 1699." This memorial is printed, with slight inaccuracies, in the _Commons Journal_, XIII. 21-22, and thence reprinted in Sir Cornelius N. Dalton's _The Real Captain Kidd_, pp. 315-321 (a book of slight value as a vindication of Kidd, but reprinting useful documents); but the _Commons Journal_ is in few American libraries, and the document is essential to the story of Kidd, and therefore is printed here. Duncan Campbell, a Scot like Kidd, had been a bookseller in Boston, and was now postmaster there. John Dunton describes him (1686) as "a brisk young Fellow, that dresses All-a-mode, and sets himself off to the best Advantage; and yet thrives apace. I am told (and for his sake I wish it may be true) that a Young Lady of a Great Fortune has married him." _Letters from New England_, p. 80.] BOSTON, June the 19th, 1699. The Memorial of Duncan Campbell, of Boston, humbly presented to his Excellency the Earle of Bellomont.
