May it please your Honours,
We paid our last humble respects to your honours under date the 10th
October at the same time we forwarded its Duplicate to Bussorah directing
tho Resident there to desire his Majestie’s Consul at Aleppo to forward them
by different Conveyances,—
On the 28th Ultimo imported a Dutch Ship from Batavia but last from
Bombay, she brought us the enolosed packet for your Honours, which we
have hired Cossids to carry it to Bussorah directing the Resident to forward
with the utmost expedition.
8ince our last address we have received no further supply of Woolen Goods
from Bombay and our superiors under the 10th October last acquaint us it
not will be in their power to send us any till the arrival of the Edgeoote and
Houghton from England.
Agreable to what we wrote your Honours under the 10th October we
loaded on the Warren Ketch one thousand two hundred Maunds (1,200 mds.
Oarmenia Wool and dispatched her to Bombay the 11th, our remains at present
of this Article is three thousand twoihundrod forty Maunds (3,240 mds.) and we
shortly expect a further quantity from .Oarmenia of seven hundred fifty
Maunds (750 mds.), our remittances to Oarmenia on account this year’s Invest­
ment is upwards of sixty nine thousand Rupees (09,000 Rs.) from whence we
flatter our selves we shall be able to give your Honours Content, We have
likewise sent to Oarmenia for the provision of the next years Crop Rupees five
thousand (Rs. 6,000) We shall be glad to see a Vessel from Bombay with you
Honours* Consignments of Woolen Goods for this Agency and hope she will
arrive us *eer the Cold weather is over as few merchants are here in the heatsf
should our superiors send us one of your Honour’s Charter ships it will give
us an opportunity of forwarding to Bombay our large remains of old copper
as likewise what Carmenia Wool we may have ready.
We have enquired regarding the Imbost Cloths in Carpets, and find they
will not answer at present, the Dutch have had some for this long time in
their Factory and though they offer them at three Rupees a yard they are
unable to dispose of them they are two Guz broad; but should we find here­
after they are likely to turn to account we shall not fail of advising your
Honours, we have directed our Resident at Bussorah to acquaint us whether
they will sell there.
