1 from Harnando Shimenes, Bantam, 4th ditto ano.
1 letter retornd I wrot Capt. Castleton, he being dead.
Tonomon Samme, the kinges brother, sent me 3 barsos wyne, 3 drid salmon, and a lynen catabra for a present.
August 3.—I sent a note to Tonomon Samme of such sortes of merchandiz as we had in our shipp, and withall desird that no bongew might be sufferd to remeane abord, it being a scandall to our nation as also against our prevelegese, which never had any such matter offred till now.
After nowne Tonomon Samme, the kinges brother, accompanid with Unagense Dono and Soyemon Dono, came to thenglish howse, and at same tyme Capt. Speck came also per water. So I made them colation. And Tonomon Samme departed, biding me unlade our goodes when we would. Capt. Speck came to heare news and brought me 3 bottells Spa. wyne.
Tonomon Same sent to have a parrat which was in our shipp, which was thought good to buy of the carpenter and geve hym. Also I sent a munky to Taccamon Dono. Both which presentes were taken in good parte. And Mr. Wedmer, master mate, gave me a parakita, and the chirurgion gave me the munky I gave Taccamon Dono.
This day was a Japon rosted to death, runing rownd about a post, fyre being made about hym. The occation was for staling a small bark of littell or no vallue.
August 4.—The Japons and Chinas unladed their goodes, because they did lie on the top of ours. And we rec. ashore 2 chists silk, no. 14 and no. 20, but the rope broke in taking up no. ——; soe it fell into the water and was much endomaged by watering; but we washed it forthwith in fresh water.
Flying newes came that Capt. Adams junck is arived in Xaxma, but of no certenty.
I wrot a letter to Gonrok Dono about my processe: seeing it could not be ended nether heare nor at Langasaque, I ment to remove it to Miaco. Also I advised hym of the arivall of our ship Adviz and what sortes goodes she brought.
