Remonstrantie 17: CONCLUSION.

17

This is a sketch of the ordinary course of manners, administration, and customs, so far as appeared to me to be possible, but it is not a system of law that I have been describing, because in this country there is a great diversity of tastes, among both the upper and the lower classes; a description cannot be so complete but that some one may say that he has on one occasion seen or learned something contrary to it; and, consequently, when such chatterers talk, my employers will recognise that absolute concordance is impossible of attainment. Further, I have deliberately passed over in haste certain matters, such as the origin of the inhabitants, their nature or disposition, their dress, their methods in war, etc.; but since the object of my report is merely to furnish information to my honourable employers regarding the actual or potential trade of the country, I have been constrained by zeal to fulfil my duty, to show and make it clear that while in India I have not been like the main-mast, which also travels to India, but rather their servant, who is, and always will be, bound to render them such services as etc., etc. I close by wishing my employers continual expansion and development of their trade, all good fortune, and prosperity to themselves.
From Your most obedient servant. Francs Pelsartt.
