Bombay Castle December 1736.
Imported tho Wyndham Captain Richard Shuterz from Gombroon by Lottor from
whom we received a Letter from the Agent & Council dated the 7th instantGombr0on-
answering ours of the 23rd September Duplicate of which they received by state'of tho trad#
the Cowan & Robert the 19th November & tho Wyndham imported the next*0 Carmania-
day. They advise that they have not since their last received any Complaint
from Lettifas Caun about the condition of the Nortbamberland sold him by
Captain Milne, but if they do or find cause to apprehend that the Company
may be put to expence in compromising any dispute about her they will

as being a Gaber he is liable to be fleeced by the Government who would
oblige him to make presents or lend the Company’s money on any pretext by
which bis Expences might be greater than would be occasioned by the Conti­
nuance of a Company’s servant which will be necessary if they send any
Woolen goods up there. That the broad Cloth «& Perpets now seut them is a
very good sortment if it proves agreeable to the Musters, but as they have
not bad time to examine it yet they will send patterns of woolen goods
proper for that Market with the necessary remarks to our Hon’ble Masters by
the first Overland conveyance after they find how the Merchants like the
quantity sent them. That about two months before the date of their advices
