I wrote a letter to one of the king's eunuchs, a very familiar friend of mine, called Necruz (Nekroz)—that is, 'Fortunate Day.' In it I informed him with great politeness of the troubles suffered by the English nation within His Majesty's dominions, including many necessary particulars. I prayed him as a favour to deliver this letter to the king, and he, out of his great friendship for me, and aware also that His Majesty himself knew who I was, delivered the letter with confidence when the king was among his women. Having read it, the king put it in his pocket, then went out into the 'Am-Khass (the audience-hall) and began to hold audience. After hearing several complaints brought before him by his officials, he drew the letter from his pocket and began to read it again, shaking his head meanwhile. Then he said aloud : ' It is true that the English are in the right, and the fault lies with my officials.' The persons present were much agitated. - [Previous: 264.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.9) - [Next: 264.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.11) - [Up: 264](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.10) · Pramāṇa
