Dated September 1656: "...being glad to heare of youer well Doeing in youer affliction of widdowhood ... In my Judgement I would advise you to marry one whom you could Love; I would to god I were nearer you I should Doe something for you ...". This letter, clearly indicating Sarah had not yet remarried, was recorded because it contained a gift of land to Sarah's daughter. The clerk's notation: "The abovewritten Letter was sent from Mr Jonathan Brewster unto mi's Sarah Brewster widdow now liveing in the towne of Duxburrow In the Gov'r'ment of New Plymouth".
