My Servants are all comeing away and leave the Peeter to the Peeter men, so that you will doe well to write speedily to Golcondah and procure Mahmud Mynns letter if you cannot procure a Phirmaund, if both, it will bee much to the Companys honor. The Company were much better send Effects to the Bay to provide Peeter sufficient for their occasion. I have very certaine advice your Brammoneys Kinsmen, the Peeter Brammoneys hath advised the Peeter men to ruin my business that I may bee out of the Companys favor, and that you may give him the Employment, but if ever I light on him I am resolved to make an Example of him. Whether I ever meddle with the Peeter employment or not I vallue not a rush, nor had I now but that I hoped to do the Company good Service, which I had, if the Brammoney had not prevented, but if I can light on him, hee shall repent and pay dearly for this action.

"Mr Richard Mohun Etca. Councell, Esteemed Freinds, Yours of the 14th this night received. I have at large advised you of the anjast actions of the Peeter men, and it will bee needless to trouble you more with them. The Brammoney Mr Jearrey imployed hath advised the
Peeter [men] to act what they have done, hopeing thereby I shall bee out of the Companys favor and . againe [in ) the Agent and your displeasure, by which meanes hee is in Expectation of the imployment.
I shall, in few dayes, send you attestation from seaverall Emminent Persons that the Bramminy and Peeter men have consulted to ruine my business. The Peeter men want not Incouragement, they being of themselves ready to accept any opportunity for their unjust designes and want not the Brammoneys assistance. Mr Fleetwood can informe you of them. Indeed it hath bin some trouble to mee, for I esteeme it to reflect on my honor to promise more then I am able by their disapointment to comply with. According to your orders, shall send what Peeter remaining for the Fort with all Expedition. I remaine, Your assured Reall Friend, AMBROBE SALUBBURY.

"Mr Ambrose Salusbury, The many letters which yon mention to have sent us which you never received answer to as you say, which was two very short ones, which soe speedilie did not reqnire any, But we have long since sent you an acknowledgment of the receipt of them and the 600 baggs of Peter.
