The two Boates sent from hence remaine there, but you advise not that Potrize Puttaes (Poturāza Patnaya is ]28 there, if not one must be hired, if all sent at once, or one must make two turnes, which will cause the Ships stay the Longer, to which please to advise.

"Mr Richard Mohun Etca. Courcell, Esteemed freinds, I expect your answer to my last and Order concerning Goods at Careare (Karedu). The Catwall [ kotwāl, magistrate ] of this place confidently reported the Dutch had 25 ships arrived at Metchlepatam and that the English and Dutch ships were Engaged and many Guns fired, which supposed truth, and therefore writt you was sorry for the loss the Company might Sustaine their Stock being againe sent on borde, but your Silence confirmes the Catwalls news a Story, for that I hope the ships will not meet with any opposition from the Dutch. Inclosed send you the Accounts which had bin with you some daies sooner had I not stayed for the Bonte of Packing Trade, being not able to make them up without itt. I hope they will give you the same Satisfaction as if they were in Bookes, the Investment being soe inconsiderable. Had I not met with such Obstractions, the Peeter had come at a cheaper Rate then now it doth, and I presaime had any other person mett with such troubles, both Peeter and Money would have bin left doubtfall to recover, as it hath hitherto, assure you have taken great care and trouble in itt more then I know how to Express, hope my Endeavors will find your good acceptance, and if you please to examine former Accounts, you will not find any Peeter the Company ever received from this place to come soe cheap as this now provided. If the Agent and Councell would take my advise in provision of Peeter, the Company shall surely find itt theire great profitt. The whole qts.

You may remember Advised you One Boate up with Armagon which Sir William28 Ordered to returne hither. With hearty wishes for your health, Remaine, Your affectionate freind to serve you, AMBROBE SALUBBURY,
