November 17.—Georg Durois retorned from Edo without doing any thing, and came from Osakay to this place to vizet me. He sayeth Safian Dono was com away before he arived at Edo, which was the occation he could do nothing. I gave hym councell that, when Safian Dono came to Langasaque, he should get some frendes to make way to hym, and to tell hym he had rather have a littell with his favour then all with his ill will, desyring hym to consider his povertie.
We bought 9 bundells paper, comen sort, to writ letters, 100 sheetes in a bundell, for 3 mas 4 condrins per bundell.
November 18.—I went to Safian Dono to know whether he would lend me any money upon intrest, as he promised me; but he put me afe to Gonrok Dono his nephew, whome he said had charge of his busynes, and he drove me afe with wordes, ofring to deliver me money for all our sappon[226] which was com in this junk, at 22 mas per pico. So I left of that matter and retorned to bed to Osakay, having first receved in good changed plate of Tozayemon Dono our host one thousand two hundred tais, upon accompt of lead and other merchandiz, the lead at 7 tais pico; and gave hym a present. This Tozayemon Dono hath lent me 1000 tais gratis, besids all other favors donne in our busynes, he having donne more then all the rest.
