This letter and the enclosure went by the hand of Manucci's servant, Hasan. Next Masulipatam was informed (June 9, 1687, No. 20, p. 1861) that no Englishman could be sent on account of the danger and expense, but that communications had been opened with their 'old friend ' Mirza Ibrahim (i.e., Mahabat Khan). On July 25, 1687, Elihu Yale succeeded Gyfford. On August 11 the new governor wrote to Job Charnock, agent in Bengal (No. 4, Part II., p. 124), announcing the arrival of letters dated July 9 from the Mogul's camp — one from Mahabat Khan, stating that he had informed the Mogul of the English complaints, and the other a long report from Khwajah Annus, the Armenian agent employed at Gulkandah. The report is to the following effect : The letters sent by Manucci's servant were made over by Senhor Thomas \[Goodlad\] to Bastian Weale \[? Sebastian Velho\]. They spoke to Ihtimam Khan, who kept them waiting three months uselessly. News of the trouble in Bengal arrived, the Mogul was angry, and they durst not deliver the letters. Abnus then applied to Mirza Ibrahim, now Mahabat Khan, but he hesitated. Manucci's servant was asked for the governor's letter ; he referred them to Velho, and Velho said the letter was given already to Eetinonghan \[? Ihtimam Khan\]. Then the servant informed Abnus that his master (Manucci) had also written to Nukzood (? Nekroz). - [Previous: 265.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.1) - [Next: 265.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.3) - [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.265.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.1.2) · Pramāṇa
