About this item
- Content
*The letter is dated 23 December 1765, but it is almost certain that this is a mistake and should be 1764.
The letter discusses the state of trade and expresses the hope that things will improve once the merchants from Corasoon [Khorāsān] arrive and more cloth comes from Bombay. There is an update on the situation between Carem Caun [Karim Khan] and Meer Mahanna [Mīr Muhanna], with news that former is at Shustar [Shūshtar] and will soon reach Bunderick [Bandar Rig]. Also discussed is the difficulty of using British weight systems in Bushire and the relevance of Article VI of the grants given to the Company by Sadoo Caun [Sadiq Khan] in 1763.
