Storia do Mogor 226: Kashmir.

226

In the province of Kashmir much fine linen cloth is made, of which a great deal is used by the nobles, for this cloth is very convenient and very healthy in cold weather. They make many beds, ink-boxes, trays, boxes, spoons, et cetera, out of wood, both in plain and carved work. Fruit is plentiful, just as in Kabul; the inhabitants are fair and with fine features. As for their disposition, I believe them to be descended from the Jews, seeing the way they act. The Moguls keep there four thousand horse as a garrison; and the chief town is at thirty-six degrees forty minutes of latitude, and one hundred and twenty of longitude.
