Witness my hand in Canton December the Fighth 1711. EDWARD JONES. [Endorsed] Mr. Edwd. Jones. Acknowledgment that I Recd. noe commission for our stock to China. [NOTES ON DOCUMENT No. 9.] Sixty thousand pagodas worth of silver. That is, the value of the 26 chests of silver mentioned above (see p. 68). Anqua and Leanqua. A firm of Chinese brokers and merchants in Canton with whom Scattergood did much business in his later voyages. Lockyer, op. cit., p. 101, says of them : "I look upon Leanqua as a very honest man, and so are Anqua and Pinqua for Chinese." The Howland, a company's ship, commanded by Captain George Cooke, was at Achin in April 1712 and at Malacca in October. There Captain Cooke died (Diary and Cons. at Fort St. George, 1712). Jones's intention to make use of the Howland seems to imply that he did not sail from China in the Bussorah Merchant (or Elizabeth). [10. ACCOUNT OF GOODS BOUGHT IN CANTON, 1711.] 5 Chests qt.
