We approve the Agent’s intentions of removing to nn Island in tlio Gulph
upon his hearing from Bushiro and impatiently expect his sontimonts about
removing from Gombroon and as by the last letters from thence, affairs appear
to bo in as bad or rather a worso situation before, we leave to them to romove
to wherever in the Gulph they may think proper, should they find absolutely
and immediately necessary for the security of the Company’s property, and as
Gombroon is so very unsettled they must endeavour to promote the vend of
woollens ns such as possible at any other port or ports in the Gulph.

Wm. Hornby. Charles Waters.
Peter Elwin Wrench. Samijel Court.

Order that the usual Detaohment of Military proceed on Board the
Drakeketch, but as the keeping them on shore at Gombroon is found to be
very fatal to the men, the Agent and Council must not land them but in cases
of necessity, and if the keeping Sepoys at that settlement instead of Europeans
will answer as well as we strongly recommend it to the Agent and Council’s
consideration.
