SOME ANGLO-INDIAN WORTHIES.
Mr. Richard Mohun &ca. Councell, I have acquainted you what I conceive needfull concerning the Garden,15 which if you please to have the buisness ended there and confirmed under the hands of the Governour &ca. it will prevent any further demands. Please to send your Governours Letter to the Governour that the Dyeing worke &ca. may not bee hindred, the Governour being gone you sent a Letter unto from your Governour. Last night hee sent to mee to take some Chay of him for my Dyeing work, but I sent him word that I was furnished, but though I am not fully, yet I will not bring up that custome to buy of a Governour, for it will bee after demanded as a Custome, and in tyme, may force it upon them that may Succeed here, and his Chay is all refuge, the best being Cull'd out and gone, but were it as good and cheape as I buy else where, I will buy none of him, and this I presume, sticks in his stomack and maketh him bee soe busy about the Garden, which doth not concerne him, which I sent him word, but I keepe faire weather with him and purpose to continue it, desireing you to hasten the Letters, which pray lett bee effectuall. I remaine, Your friend and Servant, AMBROSE SALUSBURY.
Pellepolee, the 4th November 1671.16
"Mr Ambrose Salusbury, Sir, Wee have now before us two of yours both bareing date the 4th Currt, by which wee understand your receipt of one from us of the 27th past with the 200 pags.. sent you for the carrying on our Masters affaires appointed by us under your manadgment.

"Mr Richard Mohun &ca. Councell, Yours of the 6th present have received and doubt not of a tymely Complyance in what you have Committed to my Charge for account of the Honoble. Company, the Packing trade being neare done, and the Ginghams will not boe long in hand, but I have not yet the full quantity of Chay they require, and the money received is all disposed on for Chay and other Charges, Therefore, desire you by the Bearer to send the remainder 37 pagos. It the Companys occasions require a quantity of those Goods, and the Chay bought at first hand in the Season when new cometh in, which will bee in January and February, they will finde the Dyeing to come much cheaper, but at this tyme good Chay is difficult to procure, being very little remaineing now in the hands of persons that will part with it. This is what at present requires from Your assured friend to Command, AMBROSE SALUSBURY.
Pettepolee, the 10th November, 1671." 18
