Public Department Diary 29—1756.
Bombay Cattle, 15th October 1756.
The Agent tt Came to hand a Letter from the Agent at Gombroon dated the 29th Sep-
Gombroon, Letter (ember advising his last address was under the 6th same Month & Via Muscat
Expedition ordered and he had since received our commands of tho 17th July per Drake Ketch,
tfen egninef end That he now despatched the Hector to us, having landed from her tho oonsign-
«cUry ihould^bo* went of woolen Goods, and loaded on her such merchandize as the Captain
MtUbotim obtained cou*d recoive on the whole amounting to Shahees 534,744, Goz 3,
from Mur Mohm*. ag j)0r enclosed invoice, that his utmost endeavours should be exerted to
procure as much Carmenia Wool as possiple & he hoped the provision wou’d
he equal to last year’s. That the Linguist had to that time been advanced
712,607, Shahees, and had delivered 1,680 Maunds. He particularized the
quantity of woolen goods and Europe staples he had sold since the 1st August
1765 and assured us his greatest attention should be given to encrease the
vend of each. He mentioned the political situation of affairs in Persia and
contradicted Mr. Adams’s assertion of his not knowing he shou’d proceed
bo high in the Gulph as Bundereek (in Excuse of his Mr. Adams’s refusal of
a passage to Mr. Wood, observing that both he and tho Commander had
declared the Ship was bound to Bussorah and the Agent believed had then on
Board some freight Bales for Bundereek). That the Secretary had wrote
Mr. Adams a letter in oonsequence of that gentleman’s public declarations
Mr. 8eoker & Parsons, that Mr. Wood shou’d not go on his Ship. That in
obedience to our Commands he shou’d send the Swallow and Drake to demand
satisfaction of the Shaik at Congoone, whenever the former returned from
Muscat whither the Agent had dispatched her with some Europe Packets
received from Bussorah. That he had advised Mr. Wood of his intentions
regarding the Drake and Swallow directing him to proceed to Congoone and
await their arrival there and likewise permitted him to prooeed with those
vessels to Bundereek, to reestablish the Factory or obtain satisfaction for the
demolition of the Hon’ble Company’s House there which step he hoped
Mr. Wood’s favourable report of the advantages that might accrue to the
Company from the trade there wou’d induce us to approve. That not having
received Mr. Wood’s accounts for July, he cou’d not inform us of the expences
he had been at in building a Factory there. That 22,000 Rupees had been
remitted him since his arrival at Bundereek, and his Expenoes to the 31st July
1766 amounted to 2,796 Rupees. That he cou’d not Comply with the Ho.
Compy.’s orders for sending them a muster of Dutch draps, as the Dutch had
then none remaining but wou’d as soon as procurable. That he had recovered
the amount of Mr. Parker’s Customs Bill and adjusted and received of Oaot.
Williams the amot. of the Heotor’s damaged Goods. That he had received
Into the Company’s Cash 7,539 Rupees and given bills on us for the amount
