Copy of the agreement with Poor is included. Poor had been seized in Portland for carrying English goods and for having sailed on the English side, both actions had been forbidden by Coffin prior to the voyage. “For his base villany [sic.] in proceeding contrary to promise he deserves the pillory – if he has any property of any am’t that you can obtain, I wish you to get it from him towards indemnifying me.”
