And it is therefore necessary that our most honoured friend, the English Balios
shall have completed the sales and fulfilled the design of their journey, they shall
have every protection granted them on their return, and again upon our royal
word there shall be no impositions laid upon them ; for if ever, heretofore, there
has been any impositions or vexations practised upon the English nation in Persia,
it is our will that from this day they be abolished and forgotten.
And being persuaded of the sincerity of our most honoured friend the Balios,
we accept of his offer of services and request of him to purchase immediately such
rarities as are procurable at Bussora, favouring us at the same time with the amount
cost thereof, in order that we may order the same to be repaid to the person who
shall be sent with them.
Let our friend, therefore, on all occasions rest satisfied of our favour and pro
tection. Let him on all occasions make known to us his wishes, and wants, and let
the above for ever remain a compact between us.
