"After Compliments,
Previous to this i sent you many letters which I
hope you will receive with this and will note their contents.
Regarding the slave women, I informed you that I
man ged to sell them to Jum , ah Somali who made the best offer
and was more reliable than others. I did not want to lose
the opportunity as he wanted to take them with him by oar as
soon as he purchased them: he actually left with them. If
they were taken by some other person he would have kept them
with him and then returned them as being unfit (for service^*
The reason was that whenever anyone wanted to buy them they
used to show themselves to be unfit which made the purchasers
to refrain from buying them. When Ibrahim Islam heard about
them he aa^ed us to send them to him and after seeing them he
returned them without asking any offer whatsoever. I informed
you that I sold them for Ha. 1000/- and 135 dollars out of which
I paid 100 dollars as tax on them and 9 dollars on account of
wages. I enclose a draft by Ibn ’Ujaiynn against his partner
* Abdullah bin Said who is now in Bahrain for Hs.lOOO/- which
please reoeive from him. A sum of 26 dollars remains to your
credit. Please let me mow about the receipt of the
remittance." Usual Ending.
