[SEPTEMBER, 1908.
• Mr. Ambrose Sahusbury, Sir, We have now four of yours before us, vint. the first of the 28 past with two of date the next day, the latter of the 12 presant, to all which wee shall reply the most needfull. The 200 Pagos, sent you wè understand you have received, and that you intend the observance of our order in the sending for Madrass 500 pagos. worth of packing trade, which we still confirme, but for what part of it you have sent us heither wee intend to keepe and returne you your boate empty, Since bave lately received the Forts Generall, wherein wee finde they are not 800 pressing for that Commodity as formerly, and therefore you will have the better loizure to make up on the quantity out of what youll since have or shall provide, which, being accomplished, dispatch directly to them, and the over plus to us as soone as conveniently you can. Your accompt wee likewise received. Wee reiterate our desires concerning those Gunneys of 60 for a pago., that as many of them as you can be sent us, and those of 34 for a pago. to the Fort. You have done well in makeing provisions for dying the 50 ps. of Ginghams, which, whilst wee were at Madapollam, ased our utmost endeavors to get in a readiness to send you, but the wevers could not soe soone provide them. We hope ere this they are upon the way towards you, haveing given Mr Feild (whome we have appointed there for the negotiating our Masters affaires) a strick charge for their speedy dispatch. Your dilligence in the things will undoubtedly much commend you to their favours and oblidge us to remaine, Your verry loveing freinds, R. MOHUN; M. MAINWARING ; G. CHAMBERLAINE.

Mr Muhun groa. Councell, my last was of the 12th instant, to which have not my reply. You may please to understand that I have contracted and delivered out the vallae of the 700 Pagos. and there will bee more 37 pagos., as I am advised, due to the Gunney men with Charges, which please to send, some Gunnoys being now detegned for it. Alsoe, please to remitt 75 Pagos. for Boates. I shall bave them as cheape ag Customary. Soe soone as the Goods arrived and laden shall send you the account. If you please to supply your present occasions with 2 or 3000 of them Gunneys, shall have Sufficient to make up the Fort 500 Pagos. I have given forth money for ashes for the Ginghams, but here is none arrived. I did omitt with the Ginghams last yeare to advise you write with them to England, that if they should, when they arrive, bee spotted (as I doe thinck they may, being not well dyed) that wash them in faire water and the Cbay will returne and not a spott appears after being well dyed. This is the property of good Chay, which bad will not endure. Desireing your speedy answer and Complyance, I remain, Your assured friend to serve yon, AMBROSE SALUSBURY.
