Furthermore, a report was taken for exhibition concerning the inspection and testing of the fire engine, as well as the visitation of its appurtenances, all of which was found so unusable and for the most part 257 From Persia under date 10 August Year 1745. unserviceable, as the report made known below dictates: Report made and delivered in all deference to the Honorable, respected Sir Simon Clement, senior merchant and commander over the Honorable Company's important trade and considerable interests in the realm of Persia with the dependencies thereof, alongside the Honorable Council. Honorable commanding Sir and Honorable Sirs, In compliance with your Honorable respecteds' and your honors' revered orders, we the undersigned judicial commissioners repaired before the front of this lodge on the beach, and there carefully inspected the fire engine with its belonging tools, in order to discover whether anything was deficient thereon. But when the same was brought to the test by the gunner of this lodge, it was found that its crown was entirely leaking and its hose more than half decayed, and thus unusable for extinguishing the slightest fire; likewise 12 pieces of leather buckets, which also, unless considerable repair is done thereto, cannot be of the least utility. And whereas we live in the hope of having accomplished this our assigned charge to the satisfaction of your Honorable respecteds and your honors, we take the honor to remain with the requisite deference and respect, under stood, Honorable commanding Sir and Honorable Sirs, lower, your Honorable respecteds' and your honors' humble, obedient and faithful servants, signed, Wilhelmus Lindeman and Carel Arend Koffier.

From Persia under date 30 August Anno 1745 — And whereas from this it clearly appeared that everything, in case a hand was not kept to it, was virtually bound to perish and become entirely unusable, it was therefore judged highly necessary and expedient, and furthermore resolved, to have that instrument with its appurtenances repaired as soon as possible, since that fire-extinguishing gear could hardly be spared, and consequently was necessarily required at this office because the local natives here go about very loosely and carelessly with fire. Furthermore, pursuant to what was ordered by council resolution of 30 August, a certain request drawn up in the form of a report was now submitted and presented for inspection by the interpreter David Sahid, who arrived here from Spahan on 9 May last, concerning the justification of his negligence and delay in his journey to the court of the reported beglerbegi Mhamed Tackie Chan, to solicit regarding the free silk trade etc.; but whereas the same was drawn up in the French language and not every one of the members was proficient in it, it was therefore approved and resolved to appoint the pay bookkeeper Claude Antoine Schoffier together with the bookkeeper Isaac de Craene to pursue the translation of that document, as well as to suspend our further decision to be taken in this matter until such time as it shall be properly translated according to the essential tenor, when those matters shall then be dealt with as the constitution of the times permits and as shall be deemed to square with equity and its true nature. Further attention having also been given to the verbal report of the merchant and trade bookkeeper as well as pro tempore warehouse master, the Honorable Cornelis De Haen, how he had found the 100 lb of prunelles lying in the warehouses, which had been brought here on 23 April last from Spahan for the Surat directorship, to be for the most part spoiled, with the request that the same might be put up for sale at a public auction to the highest bidder, which request, as squaring with equity, was granted; and which also had its effect during the drafting of this, as appears from the documents submitted thereof and inserted below, reading as follows: Report made and in all respect delivered to the Honorable Simon Clement, Senior Merchant and Commander of this directorship, together with the Honorable Council. To: Honorable Sir and Honorable Gentlemen, In order to comply with your Honors' respected order contained in the council resolution of 16 September last, we, the undersigned ordinary commissioners, in the presence of the Merchant and Trade Bookkeeper as well as Warehouse Master, the Honorable Christoffel De Haan, have put up for sale to the highest bidder at public auction such 100 lb of partly spoiled prunelles as were brought here on the date of 23 April last from Spahan for the Surat directorship, the same being sold for such price as the auction roll annexed hereto comes to show. And since we hope to have fulfilled your Honors' respected orders, we take the uncommon liberty of calling ourselves, (was written below:) Honorable Sir and Honorable Gentlemen, (lower:) Your Honors' humble, dutiful, and obedient servants, (signed:) E. Legrand and J. Weber, (in the margin:) Gamron the 19 September 1743. (at the side of the heading was written:) Exhibited and served in the Council of Policy at Gamron this 16 September 1743, (signed:) Cornelis Bijleveld, sworn and provisional secretary. Auction roll of the prunelles mentioned below, which in conformity with the adopted council resolution under date of 16 September last were put up for sale and sold to the highest bidder, as is distinctly indicated below, namely: 100 lb of spoiled prunelles to the Banyan Silseram for 37 mahmudis or ƒ15:14:8. In the Netherlands Office, Gamron, this 19 September 1743. (below stood:) In my presence, (was signed:) De Haen. (in the margin:) as commissioners, (signed:) E. Legrand and P. Weber. After the resumption of which, it was noticed that the fruit could not be disposed of for more than 37 mahmudis or ƒ15:14:8, and the same according to the books costs 170 mahmudis or ƒ72:5:—. Ergo lost thereon: 133 mahmudis or ƒ56:10:8. Which loss was resolved by comparing votes to be written off to the account of Profit and Loss. Meanwhile the gentleman chairman made further known to the members that a report, both verbal and in writing, had been made to him by the provisional secretary of this table, Cornelis Bijleveld, that some books and papers were entirely infested and gnawed through by white ants, indeed to such an extent that nothing thereof could be understood or read any longer, as can be seen further in the following: Report made to the Honorable, Highly Esteemed Mr. Simon Clement, Senior Merchant and Commander of this Persian directorship, together with the Honorable Council. Honorable, commanding Sir and Gentlemen.

Lastly, consideration was further given to the request of the clerks stationed here, to the effect that their monthly ration of rice might be allowed to continue until such time as we might be supplied with that grain, under the representation that they can hardly survive on the cash received in lieu thereof, since that grain is currently not to be had for less than the man of 6 lb at 4 to 4 1/4 mamoodies, whereas they, in accordance with our recently taken resolution the Council. D From Persia under date 10 August 1745 resolution of 30 August, cannot and may not enjoy more than 1 1/2 mamoodies for the 6 lb according to the latest purchase price; which request having been taken into mature deliberation and it having been reflected that such is reasonable and consistent with equity, their petition is therefore granted. It is wished that not only this, but also all the transactions herein, may in due time be honored with a gracious approval from Their High Excellencies, the High Indian Government at Batavia.

The Honorable Sir Simon Clement, Senior Merchant and our respective Director, having today departed this life, Sir C. de Haan, Merchant and Trade Bookkeeper of this Directorship, as the presiding member, requested the Council to convene; whereupon, having appeared at the appointed place and taken their seats, and God's name having been fervently invoked, he presented to them the aforementioned grievous event, and at the same time whether it did not most urgently require that one proceed de facto to the election of a new head; upon which, after having weighed the matter with one another in extensive discussions, it was found good and resolved not to proceed for the time being to the election of a new Director, because the difficulty inherent therein was considered of great weight, and that for these reasons one should first give the matter some thought before disposing of this weighty point, to the end of being able to determine the best course regarding this in the present case; to which end Resolution taken in the Council of Policy likewise

From Persia under date 10 August 1745 Likewise it was taken into consideration that before proceeding to a final decision, one or two members might well need to be co-opted, as the body consists of only three members and was consequently found to be too weak to undertake anything in that regard. However, after extensive deliberations and discussing this at length with one another, it was unanimously deemed best not to appoint any members for the time being, because one was now assured by letter of 30 December of the past year that this Council was to be strengthened daily by three persons arriving with the expected ships from Batavia. Therefore, the substitution of members could not well take place at present in view of the expected support, as those appointments would not be able to stand, and consequently would be only of short duration and superfluous. Therefore, it was now unanimously determined and resolved to postpone finally the co-optation of any members until the arrival of the expected ships from Batavia, but regarding the election of a new head, to defer our further disposition until tomorrow, when the necessary 267 From Persia under date 30 August 1745 matters for the well-being of our lords and masters contained in the present case are to be nominated, devised, and negotiated. Furthermore, for the preservation and prevention of all accidents, it was approved to unload the chaloup De Valk of the sulfur earth loaded at Khamir, and also to have the same hidden on shore until the arrival of the ships. This meeting coming to an end with hope and prayer that we may in due time see ourselves applauded with the benevolent approval of their High Nobles. Thus resolved and decreed in the Dutch factory at Gamron on the day, month, and year aforesaid. Was signed: Christoffel de Haen, Emanuel Cornelis de Poorter, and E. Bijleveld, councilor and provisional secretary. Resolution From Persia under date 10 August 1745 Wednesday the 2 October of the year 1743. Pursuant to what was resolved and decreed yesterday, the members appeared together this morning, whereupon, after taking their seats and offering prayer, the presiding member, Mr. C. de Haen, again put before the council whether it was not presently extremely urgent and very useful to proceed to the nomination of a new head. At the same time declaring himself and excusing himself from that post, because he had recently requested his discharge from their High Nobles and had not the least inclination to be elevated to a higher capacity in this directorate, etc.; wherefore he renounced his legitimate rank currently pertaining thereto, and offered the same again to a person of greater ability, proposing thereto as the most capable and first in rank, the merchant and head of Basra, Mr. Abraham van Suchtelen. But since that gentleman had already so graciously obtained his dismissal from this directorate, and on the other hand is not yet present here, by which this proposal practically disappeared of itself, therefore we found ourselves obliged and at the same time Resolution taken in the council of policy at Gamron 269 From Persia under date 10 August in the year 1745 compelled to make use at present of the servants present here. While the first assistant, the honorable Jacob van Schoonderwoert, also came into consideration, yet, since this likewise fell away due to the aforementioned impediment, as has already been discovered here previously with Van Suchtelen, therefore the provisional fiscal Emanuel de Poorter, by refusal on the one hand and absence on the other, being nolens volens the next in rank here and the eldest of the servants, as well as the most knowledgeable in the Persian language for the maintenance and preservation of the Company's precious respect, which otherwise might sometimes be disappointed and stand subject to great danger of decline among great and small, offered thereto his modest talent obtained thus far, with great hesitation and not without fear or anxiety, on account of his little experience obtained until now and the arithmetic art, yet under this restriction that he would and was willing to take on the management of affairs only under the title of temporary governor until such time as the expected, elected merchant and head of Basra, the honorable Jan Mareus (to whom the authority according to rank now pertained) shall have arrived, and might see fit to accept the administration of this directorate on his From Persia under date 10 August 1745 own account and responsibility, as the council left it entirely to the wise judgment of his said honor whether to take the handling of the honorable Company's affairs here upon himself. Which generous offer being accepted and approved by the members, the aforementioned fiscal was courteously congratulated as temporary governor, with the further wish that heaven may be pleased to support his honor with sufficient bodily strength and health, so that he may discharge this weighty office to the well-being of the honorable Company with a desired satisfaction, to the end that all may redound to the welfare of the honorable Company, as well as his own honor, fame, and reputation. For which kind wish his honor humbly thanked each one individually, with a sincere declaration and assurance that, although he regarded it as a heavy burden which stood to press upon him not a little according to his slight ability, he was nevertheless well inclined and obliged to exert his utmost powers and efforts in directing the honorable Company's affairs, provided each of the council members please to persevere in their duty, and especially observe the required harmony and peace for the promotion of the service of their lords and masters, to the edification of the

Further, the temporary commander submitted for consideration and deliberation to whom the vacant office of fiscal might now be assigned; whereupon the last signatory hereof came to offer his services, not only to observe that post, but also the secretariat and dispensary until the arrival of ship or ships; on which willing offer it was approved and resolved to let him, Bijleveld, occupy these offices until such time and moment as a further disposition concerning this shall have been taken; it being furthermore determined and resolved to present publicly tomorrow to the people the temporary commander repeatedly mentioned herein, according to ancient custom, as their ruler. After concluding this, the temporary commander presented for resumption and exhibition a petition submitted by the sworn first clerk Andries van Nes, which was found to be of such content as appears verbatim below: To To the Honorable, Respected Mr. Simon Clement, Senior Merchant and Commander of this Persian Directorate and its dependencies, together with the respective Political Council. Honorable, Respected Ruling Sir and Sirs, Since the bookkeeper and sworn first clerk of this Company, A. van Nes, your Honorable Respected's very humble and obedient servant, has now already for a long time suffered from vehement fevers, accompanied by the country's native ailments and consumptions, and on that account has become incapable of performing the said service according to duty and requirement: therefore, the same takes the uncommon liberty of bringing these few yet submissive lines before your Honorable Respected's eyes, and therewith in that aspect most humbly to petition: that it may please your Honorable Respected to excuse him from the aforesaid burden and to appoint another in his place, in order to experience whether in the course of time through a little rest he will be able to attain the restoration of his former health. (below was written:) Hoping which, etc. (in the margin stood:) Exhibited and petitioner's request granted in the Council of Policy at Gamron this 2 October 1743. (was signed:) C. Bijleveld, Councilor and provisional Secretary. After revision and deliberate consideration thereof, it was resolved to grant the petitioner his request, in whose place was chosen as first clerk the book- and pay-keeper A. Koffier, as a moderately capable person of very polite conduct, who was subsequently called into the council, informed of the resolution, and administered the oath pertaining thereto; the last-mentioned post being again filled From Persia under date 10 August Anno 1745. by the bookkeeper Isaac de Craene. Finally, the pro tempore fiscal Cornelis Bijlevelt, just recently appointed hereinbefore, came to make an official request to be allowed to institute his action against the estate of the deceased Commander Simon Clement (his honor), because his honor upon his decease had remained indebted to the Honorable Company in a sum of ƒ 8063:4:11 1/5, but since this was a matter that depended on the judicial college and had its relation there, the prosecutor was therefore referred to that tribunal. This meeting thus coming to an end in the hope and expectation that the changes made herein, as well as all the rest that was transacted and resolved, may in due time be crowned with the favorable approval of their High Noble, Severe, and Grand Worships. Thus resolved and determined in the Dutch Factory at Gamron, on the day, month, and year aforesaid. (was signed:) C. de Poorter, de Haen, and C. Bijleveld, Councilor and provisional Secretary. Resolution From Persia under date 10 August 1745. Resolution taken in the Council of Policy at Gamron on Tuesday the 8th of October Anno 1743. All present. After the council, upon the convocation of the commander, had appeared in the ordinary council chamber, and each of the members had taken his seat according to custom, the said commander informed them how the recently by His Persian Majesty hither-dispatched Sardar of the Low Countries, who arrived here yesterday, His Highness Mhamed Hossein Chan, had now already twice caused request to be made to obtain the loan of the Honorable Company's sloop De Valk, lying anchored in this roadstead, for the conveyance of his person and domestic servants to Sulphaer; and this having been refused him the first time in the most polite manner, with the notification that the said vessel was not only laden with sulfur but also too small and therefore by no means capable of accommodating a person such as His Highness with his suite; he nonetheless had continued to press strongly upon his made instance, even having sent word in reply through the Company's Saelman: that if

275 From Persia under date 10 August Anno 1745. if he only had so much space to be able to move himself, he would then be satisfied, as well as that it would give enough time to unlade that small vessel of the combustible materials it contains; therefore His Honour raised the question whether it would not be best that the aforementioned request of His Highness be granted for this time, since he is not only a man of great power, but at the same time a blood relative of the present King, and having arrived in the lowlands for his first journey, his friendship was therefore most highly needed, and moreover that such a potentate, in the event of an outright refusal, would cause the Honourable Company much trouble and harm, as has all too often been put into practice among these haughty natives, which would be far more inexcusable for us than granting the loan of the aforementioned sloop for a few days! Whereupon it was approved and resolved by each of the council members, after consideration of all the foregoing, and thus with consonant votes, in order to gain the friendship to the greatest benefit of the Honourable Company, to grant His Highness his request, provided that the frequently mentioned sloop shall beforehand be discharged of its sulphur cargo and properly ballasted. Furthermore 2 From Persia under date 10 August Anno 1745. — Furthermore, having taken into consideration whether one ought not to please such an eminent person as the aforementioned duke upon his departure on behalf of the Honourable Company with a modest gift, all the more because, according to the report obtained from the Honourable Company's interpreter, this had already been put into effect by the British gentlemen with broadcloth and various other goods, and His Highness had also requested a fine gold pocket watch from the Commander through the very same interpreter; therefore, in accordance with the ancient custom and the greed with which the conceited Persian is for the most part afflicted, it was unanimously decided to offer the Khan upon his arrival on board the aforementioned sloop such goods amounting to f 661:13:8 at purchase price and f 841:2 at selling price through the Honourable Company's Ibrahim Sahid (who, to avoid unrest that might arise between us and the said duke's people due to ignorance of the language, shall be placed on the sloop); as appears here below from this Memorandum of all such goods as, for the cultivation of friendship for the well-being of the Company, pursuant to today's resolution, have been handed over to the Company's interpreter Ibrahim Sahid, in order to offer the same to His Highness the Seyyid Mir Muhammad Husayn Khan, being about to depart with his retinue 247 From Persia under date 10 August 1745 — retinue on the Company's sloop De Valk to Julfa, upon his arrival on board; namely: Purchase price Selling price To His Highness the Seyyid Mir Muhammad Husayn Khan 12 lb cloves - - - - - - f 3:5:— f 5:13:— 12 lb nutmegs - - - - - - 15:8 34:16:— 32 lb fine Ceylon cinnamon - - - - 3:16:8 30:14:8 12 lb Malabar cardamom - - - - 4:14:— 18:—:— 60 lb pepper - - - - 6:10:8 22:1:— 1 pot preserved nutmegs - - - - 20:15:— 29:1:— 1 pot preserved ginger - - - - 28:14:8 40:5:8 1 pot preserved musk limes - - - - 20:—:— 28:—:— 7 pots preserved nutmegs - - - - 14:11:— 20:7:— Purchased from outside, namely: 1 piece gold pocket watch Mahmudis 1200:—:— 2 cases rose water at 110 Mahmudis each 220:—:— 2 cases Shiraz wine - - - 140:—:— 2 gilded water bowls and saucers 80:—:— 12 common ones 48:—:— 12 lb or 2 maund Mocha coffee beans 40:—:— 518:8:— 518:8:— Mahmudis 1818:—:— 24:18:— To His Highness's mace-bearers Ali Husayn and Muhammad Haji 2 pieces chintz Tuticorin f 18:7:— f 17:8:— 2 pieces small lungis - - - 3:18:— 6:—:— 35:3:8 Mahmudis 486:—:— Total f 663:3:8 f 641:2:— In the Dutch Factory Gamron, on the 8th of October Anno 1743.

Thus resolved and determined in the Dutch Factory of Gamron, date as in the heading. Signed: C. de Poorter, C. de Haan, and C. Bijleveld, Council and provisional Secretary.

Date 10 August 1745. From Persia under the reverent letter sent hither by the severe and most honorable lords, through the reading of which we had the very great fortune to perceive how the well-mentioned Their High Nobles have again been pleased to favor this directorship with some merchants, for which our obliged expressions of gratitude are to be dealt with in the first outgoing correspondence; and whereas by the goodness of Their said High Nobles we found ourselves further reinforced by the elected Bassourashoord the Honorable Ian Marcus, mentioned in the heading, it was therefore approved to give His Honor, according to order, a seat in the council at once; upon which, having been called inside and having taken the customary oath, a seat was assigned to him, after which the honorable chairman not only brought to notice the painful demise of the Honorable Director Simon Clement, his soul be blessed, who passed away on the first of this month, but also how far 285 From Persia under Date 10 August 1745. far, according to the resolution of the following day, our final disposition regarding the chief administration took place, and that by His Honor, for such motives as are alleged in that resolution, the governance of affairs was accepted only conditionally, yet under the designation of provisional authority holder, in order to bear the same to the utmost ability and for the well-being of the Honorable Company until such time and while the awaited gentlemen from Batavia should have arrived; and since, as already stated here before, the council has now been enlarged by the arrival of the Honorable Marcus and the determined time had already expired, he therefore put into inquiry: whom one could and might elect as administrator of this directorship, with the request that he might be relieved of that heavy burden, at the same time maintaining that according to order the secunde of this directorship was the next in rank for it, but whereas that gentleman, for such Persia under Date 10 August 1745 From such reasons as are cited in the aforementioned resolution, has excused himself from it, that therefore the next in turn was the frequently cited merchant the Honorable Ian Marcus, in consideration of the fact that the first Bassoura resident the Honorable Abraham van Suchtelen had already through the favor of Their High Nobles obtained his dismissal from this directorship, consequently his part in this point came to lapse, etc.; which, one and all, being assented to and confirmed by the other members, that gentleman came to declare himself, and at the same time made a request that he might remain excused from it, because he had only just recently arrived, and it was impossible to be immediately knowledgeable about the manners, treatment, and intercourse both with the native and in other respects and affairs in a foreign place, yet whenever he had been at this office for but a short time 287 Persia under Date 10 August 1745. From he would very gladly accept and direct the governance according to his ability, both for the welfare of the Honorable Company and for his own honor and glory, with another request that he might depart for his projected post at Bassoura, in the meantime thanking very politely for the good expectation and opinion which the members were pleased to conceive of his person: whereupon, after having reasoned extensively with one another, it was judged and planned most necessary to allow the gentleman Emanuel de Poorter to continue in the provisional administration, since he had already embraced the governance of affairs for several days, and had already been presented publicly to the people as provisional authority holder, whereupon His said Honor came to excuse himself very emphatically, under the statement that it was too heavy a burden for him to be able to bear for a long time, From Persia on 10 August 1745. to bear, but that notwithstanding this, he will nevertheless very gladly submit to being found in the governance of affairs to his utmost ability for the well-being of the Honorable Company and continue to direct the same until such time as a further occasion presents itself to be able then to relieve him of that heavy burden, or until Their High Nobles shall be pleased to dispose concerning this, after which conditional offer made, he was once more congratulated by all the members together; subsequently, after handling this point, His Honor came to submit into inquiry whether one should not relieve the elected Bouchers commissiant Corneliis Bijleveld of his heavy burden caused by holding three offices, in order to enable him to prepare for his impending departure: which being assented to with a Yes, whom one then might well and properly elect as secretary, 287 From Persia under Date 10 August 1745 elect, at the same time proposing that the most capable person for this resides in the bookkeeper Isaac de Crane; whereupon, after mature deliberation, the votes having been obtained in his favor, it was approved to relieve the aforementioned Bijleveld first of the secretariat, as being the most burdensome service, and to appoint in his place the paybook-keeper Isaac de Craul, elected by council resolution of the 2nd of this month, who having been called inside, and our resolution announced to him, and having shown his readiness and willingness in that regard, the oath of secrecy relevant thereto was administered to him, the said Bijleveld being obliged on the first good opportunity to make the transfer of the secretariat with its appurtenances and dependants to the often-mentioned Craene, who shall at the same time continue to attend to this and the office of paybook-keeper, but on the other hand, the first-mentioned shall have to administer the fiscal office along with the dispensary until the unloading of the brought goods,

Persia, under date 10 August 1745. Of provisions, etc. effected, as well as for the surrender thereof, he will have been enabled to make the transfer conveniently to the currently appointed interim bookkeeper and sworn first clerk Claude Anthoine Scoffier, who shall have to serve as warehouse keeper until the currently absolutely elected bookkeeper and Basra purser Cornelis Sonneveld shall have appeared here, to whom the dispensary with its further appurtenances must then be handed over again, which latter person furthermore is to be replaced by the assistant and elected Basra purser Jacobus Weeber, who at his urgent request was appointed to the last-mentioned service, and who is to be sent thither per the ship Horssen. Furthermore, it was demonstrated by a written report in the form of a transfer that the pay books and further papers were duly transferred by the bookkeeper Claude Anthoine Scoffier to his replacement Isaac de Crane, as appears from the transfer inserted below of all such books and papers as are today residing at the pay office and by order of the Honorable Mr. Emanuel De Poorter, junior merchant and pro tempore commander of this directorship, together with the council, in the presence of two expressly appointed commissioners, were delivered by the bookkeeper and first sworn clerk Claude Anthoine Scoffier to the bookkeeper and elected paymaster Isaac de Crane, the same consisting of the following, namely: 1 current pay journal and ledger of this shore 1 current pay journal and ledger of the sloop De Valk 1 closed pay journal and ledger of this shore 1 closed pay journal and ledger of the sloop De Valk turn over Persia, under date 10 August 1745. 1 current muster roll 1 bundle with muster rolls of this shore 1 qualified roll of various years 3 bundles with various muster rolls of the ships 2 bundles with receipt rolls of this shore 1 bundle with receipt rolls of the Buginese and Balinese 1 bundle with findings and memorandums on the pay books 1 bundle with various extracts 1 bundle with various short strengths 1 bundle with various transfers 1 packet with papers of the late Mr. Heij 1 packet with estate papers of the late Mr. Faber 1 packet with estate papers of the late Monsieur Brand 1 packet with estate papers of the late Mr. Van Leijpzigh, complete according to this register 1 packet with papers of Mr. Van Haersen 1 packet with papers of Mr. Gutche 1 packet with papers of Mr. Jongstal 1 bundle with various pay accounts that were settled here from the Honorable Company's treasury. Thus transferred in the Dutch trading post Gamron on the 4th of October in the year 1743. Below stood: for the surrender, was signed: I: de Crane. In the margin: present before us, was signed: P:r Agges and Galenus van Oordt. Therefore, the same was considered as a sufficient matter, just as during the drafting of this, the surrender of the secretarial and further related papers was still held to be satisfactory. Subsequently was taken into reading a written petition from the mate of the sloop De Valk, which was found to be of such content as appears below: To the Honorable Emanuel de Poorter, junior merchant and temporary commander of this directorship, together with the Honorable Council. Honorable Sir and Honorable Gentlemen. Your Honor's and your Honors' very humble servant Jan Hendrik Vandsiehuijsen, mate stationed on the Honorable Company's sloop De Valk, gives to know in all submission that the lint and plaster cloth provided to that vessel in the month of May has already been consumed, therefore he takes the liberty most humbly to request Your Honor and your Honors that it may be your pleasure to accommodate him with the following, namely: 1 piece of large gerrasse and 1 piece of ordinary bleached salempores. Below stood: Doing which, etc. At the side at the top stood: Exhibited and the petitioner's request granted in the Council of Policy at Gamron this 15 October in the year 1743. Was signed: C:s Bijleveld, councilor and pro tempore secretary. Thus his request was granted to him since one could perceive nothing other than that this squared with the orders. Furthermore, it was taken into consideration whether, in conformity with our passed resolution under date 11 April of the current year, as well as the promise made thereupon, one should relieve the assistant Huijbert van Poot upon his twice-made request from Bushehr, since the new commissioner was now about to depart thither; thus it was approved and resolved by unanimous votes to let the aforesaid Van Poot be replaced by the assistant Pieter Kuijper, and to grant his discharge from that place. Furthermore was taken for exhibition 4 pieces of Bushehr monthly specifications of April, May, June, and July, amounting in ordinary expenses to Mamudis 2861: ƒ1215:18:8 and extraordinary Mamudis 474: ƒ201:9:0, or together Mamudis 3335 at ƒ1417:7:8. Concerning which the commissioners, by letters of 21 August of the current year, come to request a favorable passage, and because nothing excessive was found therein, the same were passed. Finally, it was firmly resolved to let the public presentation of His High Nobility, the Highly Noble, Strict, and Right Honorable Gentleman Gustaff Willem Baron van Imhoff as our lawful Governor-General be accomplished in the most honorable manner and with the utmost solemnity on the 18th of this month, under prayer and hope that all that has been dealt with herein may in time be approved through the powerful favor of Their High Nobilities at Batavia. Thus done, resolved, and determined in the Dutch trading post Gamron, on the day, month, and year aforesaid. Was signed: E:l de Poorter, I:n Marcus, C:o De Haan, C:s

From Persia, under date 10 August 1745 C: Bijleveld, Council Member and provisional Secretary, and Mr. de Crane. On Thursday, 14 November 1743: All present. On account of the bad news regarding His Highness the Beglerbegi Mhamed Tackie Chan that arrived today, the council members were convened by the Authority, and each of them having appeared in the ordinary council chamber and taken their seats, the customary prayer was offered by the secretary. Thereupon it was proposed by His Honour how the interpreter Iacob Ian Sahid, in company with the Company's brokers, had made known to him that the aforementioned Resolution taken in the Council of Policy at Gamron. duke, according to the rumours of the attack, was said to have risen up against His present Majesty, for the reason that the Sardar, His Highness Mhamedhossein Chan, who departed from here to his army on 9 October last, had upon his arrival there shown him in the assembly a regam of the King, by which the same claimed the restitution of such moneys as had been disbursed by the mentioned Beglerbegi for the prosecution of the Muscat war over the past four years. To which he had replied with a restrained mind that he was gladly prepared to count those moneys back into the King's treasury, but that he found himself de facto incapable of doing so on the spot, and in that regard requested some delay; whereupon the frequently mentioned Sardar, demanding such de facto, fiercely confronted him, the Duke, saying that he should be silent, as he was further reinforced with another order, whereby some heads of his officers (and, according to the rumours, his own as well) were demanded. But the other, unable to stomach such a thing, was said to have ordered some of his mignons with a frantic countenance to massacre the aforementioned field commander with his suite. This order having been carried out, loyalty was further sworn to him by his subordinates to the last drop of blood; he, moreover, having taken the Sardar Colbalie Chan into custody and occupied all roads, and furthermore intending (as already said) to come hither as a rebel with His Majesty's naval fleet under his command. All of which the orders given by his brother, the Duke Governor residing here, His Highness Abol hassan Chan—with the imprisonment of a King's courier who arrived here the day before yesterday, the reinforcement of the fortresses on Ormus, Lareek, Kissem, Kissem as well as this city, and the gathering of provisions from all quarters—plainly gave reason to suspect. Therefore, His Honour submitted the question whether it would not be best and most advisable that, upon further confirmation of this unexpected news, knowledge thereof be conveyed in the safest manner to the Chief at Spahan, in order that it might through that occasion reach His Majesty's ears all the sooner. Which was answered in the affirmative by each of the members, provided, however, that this shall remain deferred until such time as firm assurance of the Duke's revolt is obtained. Furthermore, His Honour submitted for consideration whether it was not necessary that, before the arrival of such a rebel, the lodge be provided with the necessary water, firewood, and what else, so that in time of need one would not find oneself at a loss for them, because one could not know what such an upstart, upon arriving here, might not have up his sleeve by demanding cash, cash, goods, etc., as God knows the Honourable Company has had to endure all too often, and principally in the years 1737 and 1738 when he, the Chan, was still under the King's discipline. Whereupon it was approved and resolved by unanimous vote to send the chaloup De Valk to the island of Kissem to fetch water to fill our water cisterns, as well as the purveyor's vessels for firewood; while in the meantime the Company's brokers will be permitted to bring their most precious furniture into this residence. Furthermore, both the interpreter and the mullah, as well as the said brokers, shall be ordered and earnestly enjoined to make daily inquiries without fail into the truth of the above-mentioned rumour, so that, upon learning anything, they may inform the Authority as soon as possible, in order that one may thereby be in a position to make timely preparations in case of unexpected emergencies (which may God graciously avert), as well as to issue the requisite orders regarding the Company's ship Horssen, lying here in the roads, along with the aforementioned chaloup De Valk. Subsequently, at this session (it having been postponed due to the Authority's press of business as well as because for a considerable time nothing concerning justice had occurred), the Merchant and Chief of Bassora, the Honourable Ian Marcus, who arrived here from Batavia on 13 October last on the ship Horssen, along with the Bookkeeper and Secretary of this board, Isaac De Crane, were appointed—the former as President and the latter as a fellow member of that court of justice—pursuant to the highly respected orders of Their Right Excellencies established in that regard. It being also mentioned here that on the first of this month a request was made by the skipper of the chaloup by petition to be provided de novo with the necessary provisions for one month (since those previously supplied were mostly consumed), so

From Persia under date 10 August 1745, as appears by the following insertion, namely: To the Honorable Emanuel de Poorter, Under-Merchant and Temporary Director of the Persian Directorate, alongside the Honorable Council. Honorable, commanding Sir and Sirs, Your Honors' very humble servant Bastiaan Moolenaer, master of the Company's sloop De Valk, respectfully makes known that the provisions issued for the months of October and November have already expired. He therefore requests Your Honors to be pleased to supply him with the following provisions for the month of November: Namely: 200 lb meat 145 lb bacon 1000 lb rice 500 lb cadjang 303 From Persia under date 10 August 1745. 64 lb butter 50 lb salt 50 lb sugar 40 lb tamarind 10 lb candles 98 cans arrack 3 olive oil 40 vinegar 34 coconut oil 16 sack wine 1 cotton 250 pieces dried fish 1 vessel of firewood Underneath stood: Doing which, etc. In the margin stood: Exhibited and approved in the Council of Policy at Gamron on the 1st of November in the year 1743. Signed: I:s de Crane, council and provisional secretary. Therefore, on that day, upon deliberation, it was approved to grant him that request entirely, since the ordinary time had already arrived. Likewise, it was decided in the same manner to allow the following equipment goods to be delivered on credit upon the urgent, though several times refused, request of the governor of this city, His Highness Abol Hassan Khan, namely: One heavy rope of 15 inches Iron hawser 12 pair Ditto ditto 10 ditto Ditto iron hawser 9 ditto Two ditto ditto 8 thread One wheel ditto 27 ditto Four ditto ditto 21 Five small cases 18 And this the more so because he, the Duke, had expressed to the interpreter that he well knew such goods had been sent from Batavia for the service of His Majesty, and for that reason he also desired the delivery thereof, with the assurance that the King's ships were in the utmost need of the same; and furthermore that we, upon further refusal, would remain deprived of his much-needed 305 From Persia under date 10 August 1745 needed friendship, whereas it was otherwise likely to be further stimulated. In addition, he gave to understand that if we remained unwilling, he would indeed be able to compel us to deliver them, since his brother, Duke Mohamed Tackie Chan, had already paid for the anchors, etc., delivered to him earlier, which amounted to such a large sum, and that we would not now entrust him with such a trifle, which he was nevertheless capable of repaying tenfold to the Honorable Company; promising to take care that the required moneys would be paid to the Honorable Company within a few days. For which reason we remain in the humblest hope that this delivery, as well as the further proceedings in this matter, will in due time be crowned with a favorable approval by Their High Mightinesses, the Supreme Indian Government. Thus done, resolved, and determined in the From Persia under date 10 August 1741. In the Dutch trading post Gamron, on the day, month, and year as mentioned. Was signed: E:s de Poorter, Ian Marcus, C:s De Haan, C:s Bijleveld, and I: De Crane, council and provisional secretary. Resolution taken in the Council of Policy at Gamron on Saturday, 30 November in the year 1743. All present. The council meeting having been appointed for today by the Director and every one of the members having been notified thereof by the secretary, upon their appearance and taking of seats, the customary prayer was offered, which having been performed, was followed by a reminder by the said Honorable Gentleman regarding 307 From Persia under date 10 August 1745. regarding the meeting held on the 20th of this month concerning the dispatch of the Company's sloop De Valk, lying at anchor in the roadstead here, to Bandar Bushehr, once it should be unloaded of its cargo of ballast; which was unanimously approved at the time. And that vessel now being in a condition to receive its projected load of merchandise and other items for that commission, the goods best spared from this trading post for that trading place and set down on paper were presented in a draft by the Temporary Director to the collective members. Having examined this carefully, and finding that according to the distribution of the merchandise obtained from Batavia and currently on hand here, the demand obtained from over there had thus far been met according to possibility and found satisfactory, it was decided, God willing, to let that vessel depart for Bushehr with the same as soon as practicable. And From Persia under date 10 August 1745. And since for that reason, according to our previous resolution dated 15 October last, the dispense was to be transferred by the currently serving storekeeper and pro tempore fiscal, as well as elected commissioner for the aforesaid commission place, the Honorable Cornelis Bijleveld, to his replacement appointed pro interim at that time, Claude Anthoine Schoffier, for which the latter was already prepared; therefore, the execution thereof was ordered to him for tomorrow by the Director. And further it was put to the vote whether that person, since he had to prepare for the upcoming voyage, should not also be relieved of the office of fiscal; which being answered with yes by each of the members, as to whom one might then safely choose and elect for that office, there was at the same time presented and submitted by the said Honorable Gentleman a petition by the former sworn

From Persia, dated 10 August 1745. Sworn First Clerk Andries van Nes, seeking to obtain a quality upon an occurring promotion according to his rank, reading as follows: To the Honorable Emanuel de Poorter, Junior Merchant and Temporal Commander of this Persian Directorship and its jurisdiction, together with the respective Political Council. Honorable Commanding Sir and Gentlemen, The Bookkeeper Andries van Nes, your Honors' very humble servant, in his last petition on account of his debilitated, weak condition—from which, after a three-month bedridden illness, by heaven's merciful blessing he is now nearly recovered—petitioned for his discharge from the service as Sworn First Clerk, and obtained a favorable apostil thereon in the session of 2 September last; but upon the arrival of the ship Horssen on the 14th thereafter, having seen that—notwithstanding the decease in Batavia of the ministers appointed by their High Noble Excellencies for this directorship—the aforementioned their High Noble Excellencies have not been pleased to make the least change in this ministry, from which in all likelihood it will result that the fiscalship will become open and vacant, owing to the appointment by the aforementioned their High Noble Excellencies of the fiscal currently serving pro interim to the post of commissioner of Bender Abbas; but whereas the petitioner, as said before, is now restored from his illnesses and for that reason is inclined, according to duty and obligation, to remain here for some time longer in the service of the Honorable Company, the same therefore takes the extraordinary boldness very humbly to petition your Honors that, in consideration of the First Clerk's function served by him for 2½ years, he may step up according to his rank; the petitioner will not only gratefully recompense this favor, but also always endeavor to be vigilant in the service of his masters. Underneath stood: Which doing, etc. In the margin stood: Exhibited and agreed in the Council of Policy at Gamron, this 30 November Anno 1743. Signed: J. de Crane, Merchant and Permanent Secretary. Which having been read and reflected upon by everyone of the Council regarding his genuine and long-lasting bedridden illness—whereby he had repeatedly upon promotion been deprived of his lawful and competing rank—which he had nevertheless left and was now on his feet again; therefore, in consideration of his function as First Clerk, and that his contracted time had already expired by 16 months, whereby he was judged to be the next most able and vigilant, it was approved and resolved by unanimous vote to elect him to the aforesaid office of Fiscal; whereupon, the same having been called in and the foregoing announced, it was accepted by him with pleasant gratitude; whereupon, after taking the oath related thereto into the hands of the Temporal Commander, his seat was assigned to him according to rank. Subsequently, seven petitions were handed over by the Commander for inspection, namely: One by the Assistant Jacobus Weber for an increase in salary. One by the Assistant Frans van Lom to the same end as the above. One by Skipper Pieter Aas for advance wages for the crew of the ship Horssen. One by the Surgeon's Mate of the chaloup De Valk for medicines, which in this instance was granted, namely: To the Honorable Emanuel de Poorter, Junior Merchant and Temporal Commander of this Directorship, together with the Honorable Council. Honorable Sir and Gentlemen, Shows with due respect the petitioner, your Honors' humble servant Jan Hendrik Randhuijsen, Surgeon's Mate in the service of the Honorable Company and assigned to the Honorable Company's chaloup De Valk lying anchored here in the roads, that upon inspecting the said vessel's medicine chest he noticed the undermentioned medicines to be lacking; the petitioner therefore turns to your Honors with the request that he may be favored with the same, namely: lb. oz. 1. —.
