Content

The letter gives an account of the Company's involvement in an attack with Carem Khaun [Karim Khan] on Meer Mahanna [Mīr Muhanna] at Bunderick [Bandar Rig]. It discusses the possibility of the Khan ever ridding the country of Mīr Muhanna and Shaik Soliman [Sheikh Soliman, of the Banu Ka'b tribe] and how they are affecting trade. The author expresses the belief that the agreements signed with Shaik Sadoon [Sheikh Sa‘dūn] of Bushire are no longer valid as Kharim Khan will probably remove him soon. Details of woollen stocks and sales are also included.
