Employers shipping wilbe in great danger of returncing with much dead Freight, which we desire you by all endeavours to prevent, since that quantity, if obtaineable, would very much helpe out. Cotton is a Commodity not at all desired, but in case of necessity to fill up, so that if the quantity of Peeter mentioned to be had upon any reasonable termes and good, wee then suppose there wilbe noe occasion for the other, or at least A very small quantity. Wee observe that you have lately received Intelligence out of the Peeter Countroy of 200 Candies there in a realinesse more then you have bought, which we wish you to agree for at the Cheapest and best termes you can, and be not wanting in your Care of overlooking it well that it be not mixt with salt or other trash, but that it be Cleane and twice boy led and if possible not in any measure adulterated. Its Probable you may, in a short time, have further advisses of more which, if yon doe, and that it can be timely ready and so Contracted for as to our Masters advantage, let not slip the oppertonity. Pagos, twelve hundred wee now send you, supposeing it a sufficent supply for the Presant, but as your occasions require, advise us, and you sball accordingly be furnished. Your muster of Peeter sent us wee have this day sent for the Fort and advise them concerning Cotten, to which wee expect their answere. More we have not at present to acquaint you then to wish you all good successe in your undertakeings and to assure you that we are, Sir, Your loreing and respective Friends, RICHARD Mouun.

"Mr Ambrose Salusbury, Sir, This day wee received two of yours, both of the 12th Currantya the one by won of your Peons, the other by our Masters, which carried you the twelve hundred Pagos., which we are glad to here are arrived with you in safety. The two Musters of Nallacundepallee [? Nallakandapālem ] Peeter wee bave likewise received, but such trash as in our lives wee bave not seene, Judging it to be rather dorst and Salt mingled together then Peeter, You mention one of them to be twice boyled, but which it is wes canaot discover, both being so alike and Bo bad as that wee are of opinion that to meddle with it would be but a Cheat to our Honble. Imployers, of which we must and shall allwaies bave a great Care, besides the prime Cost of 5 Pagos. per Candy with Oxe bire at 11 bringing to this place Equalls the price of the best Peeter in the Country, in so much that we doe not thinke fitt to Meddle with it, but leave the Provision for the Quantity of Peeter required from us unto your manadgment or as much of it as possible you can to be in a readinesse against the Returne of the Bay Shipping, and what you doe Factory Records, Manilipatam, Vol. 5.
