wee referre to your care, since time will Not admitt of delays. "Those 4 Boats wee sent you from hence (for ] Peeter &ca, wee hope eare this are arrived with you, and that you will, as advised, Returne them againe with what Possible speed, your accounts the same. Wee are very sorry for your present indisposition, Wishing you health, doe conclade ... R. Mohus &ca.81
Metchlepatam, 29 July, 1673."
“Mr Richard Mohun Etca. Councell, Esteemed Freinds, Yours of the 29th last night came to hands, and in performance of your order shall send to Carrear soe soon as Boatmen are procured, for they must goe from hence to put the Goods you express on board the Ships that they may not bee delayed, but I am not certaine to doe it at once. I have laden on two of your Boates 400 Baggs of Peeter and the third 51 baggs, which to day had compleated, had not Rayne prevented. To morrow night the fowro Boates should have Laden and returned you, but they will not receive more then Peeter, and I think not secure to force more upon them then they are willing to receave, for should any ill happea, they will impute the cause to mee. The Gunneys will remaine for Boates from yon. One large one will serve. Had those bin large they would have receaved all and saved the trouble of other. I praise Almighty God I find some hopes of my health agnine. I Remaine, Your assured Freind, AMBROSE SALUBBURY.33
Pettepollee, August 1st, 1673."
" Mr Ambros, Salusbury, From yours of the first Instant, which late the last Night came to hand, wee are advised of your receipt of ours of the 29th. past, wherin wee observe your intentions for the sending persons to Carrea where, with Boats, shall attend the returne of our Fleete to lade those goods there in a readynesse for them, which wee hope will take effect, only againe mind your quicke dispatch that there be noe delay therein. Wee take Notice that you bad laden two of those Boats sent from hence with Peeter & that the other two had Boene the same, had not raine prevented you, which wee hope eare this is orer & that you have dispeeded all towards us. God send them safe. For the Gunnees wee shall send you other Boats, since these Not able to take them in, which is what we have to acquaint you with,... R. MOHUN &ca.33
Metchlepatam, 5 August, 1678."
"Mr Ambrose Salusbury, Wee have two of yours of the 2nd. and 5th. Instant, which came to hand the 9th., and with following wherin you advise that you had laden the 4th. Boats with Peeter & dungarees, & that you had needed 2 Bonts inore for the Gunnies, which yet Remaineth with yon, which wee this day send you, desireing your quicke dispatch in their lading & returne to us, since that now hourly expect the arrivall of our Fleete with 119. The 4 prementioned Boats are now arrived with what mentioned which shall be continued on Board them for the quicker dispatch of our Shipps, which wee hope will not after arrivall here require more than two days stay, since what wee have to lude upon them Being in the like readynesse. Wee wish your Boatmen &ca. sent to Carrea may be timely for the lading those goods upon our Shipps in their returne hither. More at Present wee have not to communicate only wish you health...., R. MORUN, &ca.
Metchlepatam, 11th August, 1678."
For two years, from August 1678 until July 1675, the records are silent with regard to Ambrose Salisbury. If he remained at Peddapalle, he could hardly have been occnpied in the Company's business, since, in a "Generall" from Fort St. George to the Court of Directors, dated 20th November 1674, is the remark, "The Factories of Verasheroon and Pettipolle are both laid down and of no further charge; Metchlepatam is the place for business."3
In July 1675, Salisbury was once again implicato in the misdemeanonrs of his superiors.
