SOME ANGLO-INDIAN WORTHIES.

“Mr Richard Mohun Etoa. Councell, Esteemed Freinds, I have received yours of the 18th. The Peeter being such a great vexation and remaining in this nature, caused mee to write you in that manner. I cannot expresse the trouble I have had. This day have received perfect advice that Mawmad Mynn hath sent a racca to the Governour of Candeveare to stopp all Peeter for the King, and therefore desire you to forbeare sending any Rasbootes. I did suppose when I writt for them that the Governour of Cundeveare had made this trouble by the Peeter mens occasion. Now it cannot bee done by violence, onely by letters from Mawmud Mynn, which please to procure. I expect every day Peeter to make up 300 Candy which I enordered not to come nigh Cundereare. I have sent 156 baggs, which, with 1050 baggs sent to you, is all arrived. Here's some Dungarees arrived, which pray advise immediately if you will have sent to Madarass or to you. There is six overlading of Dungarees deteined with Peeter. I was much troubled at the time writt you, which pray excuse and esteem me for Your assured Freind, AMBROBE SALUSBURY.
Pettepolloc, January 20th, 1672-8."
"Mr Richard Mohun Elca. Counsell, Esteemed Freinds, Yesterday writt you in answer to yours of the 18th. My last desired your advice and Order concerning sending the Cloth I have in a Readiness to the Fort for Accompt of the Honble. Company, If it should miscarry by the Dutch seizure or otherwise, I am not able to Judge the Danger, living without news, I should think Mr Mohuns Order is sufficient 1000 times the vallow, but know not whether his other business might cause hurte in writing that Order. I must really assure you that the Peeter Journey hath done mee soe much prejudice that a greater vallew then all the Peeters amount will not restore mee to the former Condition I was in before. And indeed I did purpose not to have engaged myself in Peeter more. Those Peeter men have abused Mr Winter, Mr Johnson and many other as Paupa [the bābu] can informe yon, and they will not doe other. Give them 50 Pago. per Candy they shall abuse you the more. I have in this Journey endured more then my body was able, hopeing to doe the Company such service as might bee acceptable, but I dare not undertake a new Journey, therefore pray send moe Rasboots. 'I remaine, Your assured Freind, AMBRO8X SALUABURY,15
Pellepolle, January 217A, 1672-3."
"Mr Richard Mohun & Council, Esteemed Freinds, I have received yours of the 18th and this lastapt is arrived yours of the 19th with the Rasbootes, but, as advised you, I had last night about ten persons returned, who acquainted mee the Kings De Roy is putt upon the Peeter by some of Mahmud Anmis Servants, and the Ox people deny to take up the Peeter 808 long as the Chop and Kings de Roy .continues upon itt, therefore returne your people. I am from good hands informed that Anmis hath lately sent and received letters from the Peeter men, and hath & band in this action with them and last night was informed that he's now at Candevear. I shall in few daies send you that satisfactory sufficient to make appear Aminte under-band dealings. Your letter shall now send him, and am of the minde it will cause him to remove the Obstructions. I most faithfully assure you I hoped to doo the Honble. Company good service in the Peeter and was in a faire way for itt. Had I not met with such Obstructions the Peeter and Cloth Had bin with you in good time. Had I knowne of such opposition, should not have ingaged in the Peeter for more than its amount. The full quantity of Peeter arrived is 256 Md. I expected about 60 Candy which gave orders to come another way, but I fear the Peeter men bave sent to stopp that alsoe. I hear pot of itt. If the Honble. Company give time and price they may have the Peeter delivered here notwithstanding Mawmhad Andris Ruccaes and all the Peeter men can doe. The two Boates are not fitting to goe to Maderasse being not in repaire, therefore must send other when they arrive.
