_Governor of St. Christopher in 1662._--Will any one be so kind as to
inform me who was the governor of the island of St. Christopher in the year
1662? I have an original, but unsigned letter, from him to the contemporary
Dutch governor of St. Martin's, demanding reparation for an outrage of most
extraordinary nature. He complains that the Dutch had seized and _reduced
to slavery_ the crew and passengers of an English ship during a time of
peace. Is anything known of this affair, or is there any means of
discovering the names of the colonial governors of that age? The letter is
dated Sept. 1, 1662, and is endorsed, "A Coppie of my letter to the Gov. of
St. Martin's."
