“To the Honorable Justice Addington Thomas, Massachusetts Bay Colony. I petition you under the advisement of your friend Mr. Richard Guthrie to bestow your favor and influence. You may know Captain James Flint by reputation through stories of his past misdeeds, but you might not know of his desire to repent. He is a good man, a decent man, eager to renounce his transgressions at sea and seek life in a part of the world willing to accept a man humbled and penitent. Were such a thing possible, would such a place exist? It is with this very hope that I write you today. I’ve enclosed a bill of exchange for £500 to be spent at your discretion toward procuring whatever permissions necessary. I only urge speed. He is caught in a dangerous plot with wicked men who will most certainly kill him when they learn of his betrayal.Believe me, your obliged and faithful servant, Miranda Barlow.”
Black Sails,VI
