many great men desiring a letter to send their seruants downe ; so that, if you had treble this stocke, it would be bought vp aboord, and saue you custome and carriage and spoile. For which purpose out of this I haue ordered your Factory to sell to the seruants of Normahall and her brother whatsoeuer may bee spared, so that I may bee fitted at Court in any proportion. Thus I shall saue trouble and you charge ; the Prince preuented, and our friends confirmed, and yet I hope sufficient for to please the King and his Sonne ; at the deliuery of which Asaph Chan hath vndertaken the Firman for Bengala, or any Port, and a generall command and grant of free Priuiledges in all his Dominions.
