Summary

The said 26 day I arriued with the two good shippes, called the Swallow and the Harry, in safetie at the bay of S. Nicholas, in Russia aforesaide, and landed at Rose Island, from whence immediatly I sent away my Interpreter, Daniel Siluester, in poste towardes the Court, being then at the Mosco, whereby his Maiestie might as well be aduertised of my arriaull in his Dominions, as also to knowe his highnesse pleasure for my further accesse. And remayning at the saide Island two or three dayes, to haue conference with your Agent about your affaires, I did well perceiue by the wordes of the saide Agent, and others your seruants, that I was entred into great perill and danger of my life, for they reported to me that they hearde saide at the Mosco that the Princes displeasure was such against mee that if euer I came into his Countrey againe, I shoiild loose my head, with other wordes of discouragement. Whereat I was not a little dismayde, not knowing whether it were best for mee to proceed forwards or to returne home againe with the shippes for the safeguard of my life.
