vto take him to himselfe I might know wt. to demand of ye. broaker in ye.
Hon’ble Company's name; but he was not pleased to acquaint me therewith.
Yet howsoever so soone as I perceived Mr. Reynard son to bo dead, I thought
it my dutie to take care yt. nothing of his or ye. Company’s should bo stolen,
therefore demanded all ye. keos yt. wore in Gordeys possession, yo. which
were delivered over.
The 21st Instant I performed his funerall rites, yo. Dutcho & myself
accompaning him to ye. ground in a decent manner after my returne to ye.
Company’s house I call for Tockerso yo. Company’s Broaker and in yo.
presence of Mr. Rayman demanded of him yo. Company’s Accounts and
Mr. Roynardson’s (for he enordered him to keep ym. apart) but lie very
permantorie denied to give me any. With all asked who I was that I should
require them or him and so in a railing manner slighted mee asking me how I
durst take yo. dead man's kees in my custodye before be had put his Ohopp
on them. I presume this his haughty carriage was because be could have no
opportunity to make any thing away, this his pride I did beare with untill
Mr. William Milward arrived and so acquainted him therewith ye. 25th of
this month he being that morning come to the Bunder, wt. Tockersee’s intent
was not to deliver me ye. Accounts as they stood in his book at yt. time I
cannot judge, but to be dishonest, for who can disprove what be shall put to
Mr. Reynardson’s account, for he by ys. action has had time enough to frame
new accounts as it is Banian fashion so to doe after ye. death of any one,
whereas had hee rendered mee ye. accounts when demanded he could not have
hud opportunity to have played to knave. Since Mr.'Milward’s arrivall voice
of Mr. Renardson’s things hath been taken and likewise his account intended
to be taken from Tookerse woh. when all is accomplished Augustine Swallow
doth proposed to voyage wth. all his things on ye. first shipp of the Companys
yt. shall come to this porte; and at hi9 arrivall God sending himselfe to Suratt
thereto deliver all to ye. Wopll. etc. Councell seing ho dyed intested.
The 16th Instant here arrived a Dutohe shipp Dingly, whose burden is
60 Tonn it is reported yt. she from Cape Bonspeva with Letters to Generali
of Battavia, being sent only to yt. port, but meeting with cross winds and
stormes att sea and wanting provisions was forced to come to Gombroone to trim
her & take in what she wanted, the dutche sayes that yr. was no letter to
any of them, therefore newe9 they had none.
This at present is all yt. is worthy of yo. notice therefore wth. tender of
my humble service I take leave, & remain.
Yours Most Observant Servant at Command,
