Translation of a letter from Nakhoda Ali Tigran
{Bated 11th Jamadi I,
I hope you ate keeping well. Yout letter wliich was forwarded by tlie regular
mail has been received and noted, I wrote a reply thereto and sent it in the S. S.
King Arthur through Zair Hasan, for delivery to you, and I hope that you have
received it.
As regards what you have written about Khadheiri and the firm oi Hotz,
no reply has been received up to now. It is a long time that no letter has been
received from Khadheiri, and when I saw that no letter came from him I also did
not write to him. The same happened in the case of Hotz s firm. God is gene
rous. At last the matter will not remain as it is. God will find a way. I am now
in communication with a Hindu (who wishes) to purchase (the oxide) at Bombay
at 6
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
per Gindi; and we offer it at
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
7 to be delivered at the Bombay
harbour, the Customs duty and warehouse fee to be paid by the Hindu himself.
He wants 2,000 Gindis and wishes to make a contract, afterwards, for India. If
he contracted 4,000 tons per annum for India at lis. 7 per Gmdi to be delivered
in the Bombay harbour, Haji Hasan will agree. Let me see what happens. I
will let you know. This price for which he buys means that the bag and freight to
Bombay should be payable by us. If the bags are new, they will cost Ks. 12 per 100
and if they are old they cost Rs. 6 per 100. Old and new should be mixed, so that
the oxide may duly reach Bombay. It should be weighed in the steamer. May
God vish that these terms should be agreed upon. If Abdullah does not spoil (the
matter) it will be good. He (Haji Hasan) has intimated to Abdullah, but has
written that he (Abdullah) should not speak about it but should intimate if
it is not detrimental to his Calcutta oxide market. Let us see what reply is re
ceived from Abdullah. We have also given a draft for Rs. 1,000 so that new bags
may be purchased.
I stated (the above) for your information so that you may be aware that the
affairs have not progressed up to now. It was all due to themselves. Wherever
the matter is arranged, Abdullah will at last spoil it.
As to the matter of Khadheiri and the firm of Hotz, I know he (Abdullah) has
written something, owing to which they will not write any letters hereaiter.
Greetings!
