On May 13, 1686 (' Factory Records,' Fort St. George, No. 4, p. 49), it was found that the agent (wakil) at Court had not stated the English grievances ; he was therefore directed to conclude matters within a month, or return to the coast (Madras). On February 17, 1687 (ibid., No. 20, pp. 70-71), Gyfford wrote to the Great Mogul excusing delay in sending an envoy, as the French and Dutch had done, but he had feared displeasure about events in Bengal. Muhammad Sharif, their wakil, had been at Court two years, and a hearing for him is asked and redress prayed for. A complaining letter of the same date was addressed to the wakil, who was in the camp of Bahramand Khan, the wazir's son-in-law, together with a petition to the wazir, Asad Khan, entreating his mediation. The wakil could not be found, and all three letters were brought back on April 11, 1687 (ibid., No. 4, Part II., p. 53). Another letter was addressed to the Mogul on March 10, 1687 (No. 20, p. 71), reiterating the complaints, and enclosing a claim of 64,75,000 rupees for damages forwarded from Bengal. Next, on March 17, 1687 (No. 20, p. 94), Gyfford addresses Thomas Goodlad and Richard Cogan at the Mogul's camp, saying that Senhor Nickola Manuche had recommended them. - [Previous: 264.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.12) - [Next: 265.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.2) - [Up: 265.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.1) · Pramāṇa
