You were entirely justified in saying that you could not persuade yourself to belief in a report of that sort. It is a great drawback that we have only natives to give us information; and if the accounts of the persecution were not more trustworthy than those about Sobral being in prison, this community would be still as peaceful as ever it was. Fourthly, the sole hindrance there has been in the affair, and the only reason why the nawab's letter has not succeeded so entirely as we had wished, is that his \[Da,ud Khan's\] resident at the court of Tanjor, to whom the diwan's letter was addressed, is absent from this court, having gone away several months ago; for if he had been here, what doubt can there be that the letter of the nawab, when presented by him, would have produced its complete effect. But there was no one but his \[the wakil's\] son, who is still a child. Thus the king and his minister, who is our chief enemy, pay little regard to him and did with him as they pleased, and persuaded him of whatever they wished. Fifthly, in spite of the King of Tanjor's not having yielded to a letter of recommendation in such strong terms as that sent by the nawab, still, it has not failed to make a deep impression on his mind; for the queen pointed out to him that his minister had deceived him, and he ought to have continued his protection of the Christians. - [Previous: 281.26.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.5) - [Next: 281.26.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.7) - [Up: 281.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.6) · Pramāṇa
