18.3.4

July 7. — He sent me woord that concerning my propositions for Priuiledges and the Kings Command for redresse in all our former Iniuryes, that that day or the morrow he would deliuer it to the seale : They were accorded too amply, and in few dayes I should haue them : that he had conferrd with the Prince, who was very willing to bee our frend, and if I would come to him I should be very wellcome, and whatsoeuer I could require reasonably at his handes should bee performed. July 9. — I went to visitt the Prince but sent before, who returned I should bee very welcome. He expected a present, but when none appeard, hee proceeded to busines ; and supposing I would iterat Zulpheckcarcons delayes openly, his Officer Socarolla came to mee and said for the Princes Part of the debt wee should haue a Chopp for Suratt whensoeuer I would send, and that Zulpheckcarcons remayner should bee payd ready mony by order from him. So that if the Merchannts will follow the getting it in (in which their is little done), they may be satisfied ; for my part is ended. I haue made agreement and deuided the debt, and procured order for payment, but cannot runn vp and downe to Banians and officers, in whose handes now it rests.
