19.2.4

July 22. — I receiued lettres from Bramport in answer of those to Mahobet chan, who at first granted my desier, making his firmaen to Baroch most effectuall, to receiue our Nation and to give them a house near the Gouernor : strictly Commanding no man to molest them by sea or land, nor to take any custome of them or any way trouble them vnder colour therof : finally that they might buy, sell, and transport any Comoditye at their pleasure without any molestation : Concluding that they should expect to heare no other from him and therefore they should be carefull in execution. I receiued with yt a lettre from himselfe (which was more Ciuilitye then all the Indyes yeelded mee) full of Curtesye and humanitie and great respect, protesting his desier to giue me Content and that what I had demanded I should make no doubt of performance: and if I had any other occasion to vse him, hee desiered me to write and it should bee performed.
