mado 7,800 Mauuds ready to send hither. That the Resident at Bussorah had
sent him on the Dragon Rupees 03,980, which not being enough for his various
demands, ho had taken up of sundry persous, the sum of Rs. 25,750-0-0 and
hoped soon to procure what further sum might be necessary, as without ready
money, ho could make but little progress in the wool investment. That by
his Calculate of Quick Stock, we shou’d be informed of his Remains, and those
of Broad Cloth and Perpcts being so triflling made him impatiently^expoot tho
arrival of the Prince Edward which he hoped wou’d take away all tho wool
as he was much straitnedfor warehouse room. That Babehoun had submitted
to Carom Caun, who was returned to Shyrasb, to go *twas said against Yezd
and (if Hossnii Caun did not send an Army to Spahaun) to Carmenia. That
Nasseir Caun had taken Homady and Shimiel, and was on his return to
L’hor, which it was reported Carem Caun intended to attack and tho*
Nasseir Caun had assurred tho Agent, he had not the least intimation of any
such design, yet it was the general opinion, the Peace said to be made between
him and Carem Caun wou’d not be lasting. That on tho Caun’s arrival at
Hamady, Moolah Ally Shaw, and his son-in-Law went to Ormusennd obliged
the principal inhabitants to go to tho Islands when they 6till remained, and
tho' he had often promised, to give the Caun 1,000 Tomands 'and two
brass cannon, yet he had not done it, nor did he seem to have any intentions
of ever doing it, which had so disgusted the Caun, that it was to be feared, if
he cou'd lay hold of Moolah Ally Shaw, he wou’d treat him severely as well as
the inhabitants, for quitting the place, after he had givon them assurances of
treating them well. That by the last accounts Ahmed Shaw was returned to
Candahar, and had ordered 40,000 Ofgoon families to remove to Hiraut, where
he intends going to reside in March next. He enclosed Copy of Sundry Papers
he had received from Mr. Shaw relative to Mr. Baldrick acknowledged receipt
of ours of the 28th October, and requested some Gunnies and Stationery Ware
by the first Conveyance.
