Travels in India (Tavernier) 39.5.1

39.5.1

On the following day, being the 2d of the month, we ascended to the town and stopped at the house of Maillé, whom I had known at Batavia, where he was in the service of the Dutch, serving them as gardener to the General. He received us with much joy, and having at first notified the Nawáb of our arrival, he ordered them to provide us lodging and necessary food immediately, not only for ourselves, but also for our horses and oxen, during the stay that we were going to make at Gandikot.
