The letter of M. George Killingworth the companies first Agent in Moscovie, touching their interteinement in their second voyage. Anno 1555. the 27. of November in Mosco.
RIGHT worshipfull, my duetie considered, &c. It may
please your worship to understand, that at the making
hereof we all be in good health, thanks be to God, save
onely William our cooke as we came from Colmogro fell
into the river out of the boate, and was drowned. And
the 11. day of September wee came to Vologda, and there
we laide all our wares up, and sold very litle: but one
marchant would have given us 12. robles for a broad
cloth, & he said he would have had them all, and 4. altines
for a pound of sugar, but we did refuse it because he
was the first, and the marchants were not come thither,
nor would not come before Winter, trusting to have
more: but I feare it will not be much better. Yet notwithstanding we did for the best. And the house that
our wares lie in costs from that day until Easter ten
robles.

JOHN Vasilivich, by the grace of God Emperor of Russia,
great duke of Novogrode, Moscovia, &c. To all people
that shal see, reade, heare or understand these presents,
greeting. Forasmuch as God hath planted al realmes
and dominions in the whole world with sundry commodities, so as the one hath neede of the amity and
commodities of the other, and by means therof traffike
is used from one to another, and amity therby increased:
and for that as amongst men nothing is more to be
desired then amity, without the which no creature being
of a naturall good disposition can live in quietnes, so
that it is as troublesome to be utterly wanting, as it is
perceived to be grievous to the body to lacke aire, fire,
or any other necessaries most requisite for the conservation and maintenance thereof in health: considering also

Cartier, Jacques 1494-1555
French navigator;
Jacques Cartier. born at St. Malo, France, Dec. 31, 1494; was commissioned by Francis I.,
King of France, to command an expedition to explore the Western Continent.
On April 20, 1534, after appropriate ceremonies in the cathedral at St. Malo, he sailed from that port with two ships, having each a crew of 120 men, and, after a prosperous voyage of twenty days, they arrived at Newfoundland.
Sailing northward, he entered the Strait of Belle Is e la Roque on his way to the St. Lawrence.
Cartier tried to induce him to turn back by giving him most discouraging accounts of the country, but he ordered the navigator to go back with him to the great river.
Cartier disobeyed and sailed for France.
The viceroy went above the site of Quebec, where he built a fort and spent the next winter in great suffering, returning to France in the autumn of 1543.
Cartier had arrived the previous summer, and did not make another voyage.
He died in 1555.
