Mr Richard Mohun frea Councell, In my last to Mr Mohun sent the accompt, the Error being rectifyed, the Ballance is pa. 71: 12: 4 which pray lett bee the Same in your bookes. Understanding your Allome remaineing, did Acquainte one or two of the Gunney people, who promised to accept it at fa. less 1 pa, per Maund, which is pa. 19: 6 fa, per Candy 520 li. if I deliver it where they appointe in truck of Packing trade at the price formerly delivered, but them persons are gone sone distance bence. However, if you please to accept of the above, then pray with all speed send the Allome, for about this tyme of yeare is brought out of the Countrey & sort of red Allome which will hinder the sale of this if not very speedily disposed on. If you send it, I must bee at Charge to conveigh it unto places convenient, for it will not sell for 12 fa. per Maund in this place, the Custome and Charges here being greate. What packing trade in a readiness shall bee sent you, which I heare is to the vallae of two or three hundred pago., the rest shall bee with you in good tyme. With my service, I rest, Your assured friend, AMBROBE SALUSBURY.

Mr Ambrose Salusbury, Sir, Yesterday came to hand yours of the 10th Currant by which wee observe that you are still obstructed by your Governor aboute landing and disposeing of the Companys Allome sent you, though had this Governors ruccato for its peeceable disposure. Inclosed wee now send you another, which even now cane to us from him, which we have perused and judge to be effectuall. Mirabola Bakere [ Mir 'Abdullah Bāķir ] at present is not in towne but will be here this night, soe that to morrow you may expect his letter to your Governor though we Judge that what now sent will be sufficient to the accomplishment of the prementioned business, which is the most necessary at presant from Sir, Your loveing freinds, RICHARD MOHON, &ca.

"Mr Richard Mohun goa. Councell, Yours of the 11th with your Governours ruoca received, when Immediatly sent it to the Bramany, who still saith hee hath not order to lett the Boate goe hence, nor had bee knowne of it, had not your Governor advised and given him order to detaine her, which otherwise hee bad not, therefore please to hasten an absolute order that the Boate may pass and that I may have freedome to carry the Allom where I please without obstruction. If the Governour send a Nobattee [nambiti, Mal., a trustworthy messenger] will bee more effectuell then his raccas, for hee giveing onely his order to bis Bramany who both not write an absolute order. With my Service, I remain, Your assure l friend, AMBAOBE SALUSBURY.

"Mr Richard Mohun soa. Councell, When I writt yon for the Allom thought your Governoar would not have made any denyall of former priviledge, but hees soe unreasonable to demand juncan or land the Goods, when, as advised it will not sell for 15 pa. per Candy in seven yeares, nor will any come hither to buy it, the Custome koe unreasonable, therefore shall returne it. With my Service remaine, Your assured friend to Command, AMB XOSE SALUSBURY.
