v1.c13.39

The chief record, referred to by Grant Duff, is a general letter from the President and Council of Surat to the East India Company, dated January 28, 1663–4, and signed by Geo. Oxinden, Henry Gary, John Goodyer, and Ger. Aungier, which is included in Forrest’s *Selections (Bombay series)*. See also letter of February 16, 1663–4, in Forrest, *Home Papers*, i. 34 f. Smith’s account of Sivājī’s cruelty at Surat is corroborated by a letter of January 26, 1663–4, from a Mr. L’Escaillot (or Escaliot), minister in Norwich, to Sir Thomas Browne, now registered in No. 1860, Folio 5 of the Sloane MSS. in the British Museum.
