Graham writes to Livingston in a calming effort, stating "Banish all uneasiness from [your] bosom." Graham states that Kidd, although he would be tried, would not drag down the other investors in the Adventure Galley scheme, claiming that the factionalized Parliament would not destroy the reputations or fortunes of either Livingston or Bellomont.
