The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul 29.1

29.1

Vpon your last Complaynt sent vp in Persian and my deliuery to the King, his Maiestie wrote a lettre to the Prince not many dayes past (for I procured Aganor to mooue it anew) as full of fauour as I could desire, Commanding vs to bee vsed in all sorts as respectiuely as his owne subiectes: that wee came only to see him and his Cuntrie, and therefore hee would not endure any wrong to bee offered to vs. Hee tooke particular notice of your restraynt in victualles, and Customes for victualles, and the detention of the Presents and the sealing them, to bee directed to the Prince, and many other Circumstances. Besides, hee gaue order to Asaph-chan to write 4 lettres to fower of the Princes officers by name, to take knowledg of the Complaynt made against them and to signefie at lardg his Maiesties Pleasure and what himself had written the Prince. These lettres Aganor voweth hee saw written and read them, and sayth they are sent away, but I feare Asaphchan did only blind vs both, though the other vowe fayre Play, and that the King would bee extreame angery at any fraud after his order, because they Came not to my handes. I desier you to make all enquiery what lettres or firmaens came lately to any in Suratt concerning vs; for if our great solicitor haue fayled, I will not faile to make the King vnderstand yt. I am Confident his desire is now to satisfye vs, and I would not lett it coole.
