of Iron, which I am now in the Greatest want off
he received 45 pod wod. i.e. 535 Horses on your Account
paying at the Rate of 10 Rubles for 3 Horses, these Horses
he Let out to different Merchants, at 15 and 20 Rubles
a Horse, Mr; Shellekoff owes him two hundred Rubles
for Horses, which you had best order him not to pay
as it will be so much out of your pocket. he made
the soldiers carry their Muskets, putting their provisions
and Equipage, in parcels of 15 and 20 lb on the Horses
which he Let the Merchants have, this occasioned them
to Lose one half of their things, as their was nobody
to take Care of them, and some of the Merchants
not arriving for above a Month after our people
when I find fault with him: he Laughs at me, telling
me he is sure you wont come here yourself but send Captain
Lilengrene (who is his particular Friend).
but I hope Sr; you will neither depend on (Lilengrene
nor Shellenkoff) but come here yourself, or it will
be 2 or 3000 Rubles Loss to you. if the Canvas
pitch, Tar, &c. arrives in Time, I hope to have both
Vessells ready for Sea, by the Month of July or August,
and I beg of you to Consider about the Trade to
Batavia, and if you approve of it, Endeavour
to Obtain as many Dutch Ducats as possible
