146. 1647.os v/M-ola. ;,.c-it aj/icooua arii fja/fi ^Bipiahaii ILlm KHY rful^capturing d'Myna and are you trying to suppress it entirely?You w i l l do wrong." For the King of ZABOUW, who at presentpossesses the Kingdom and is a friend ttf the Trade and theACCANISTS who are particularly grateful to him, w i l l beannoyed i f he is deprived of the profits and, instead of afriend, w i l l become the Company's enemy; or meanwhile,inorder to alleviate his losses, one would have to dipfreely into the purse every year. Butall this is theleast; for because of a "Hantgedraey" and small disputesamong the Blacks, the paths are immediately closed, sothat the ACCANISTS could not come to de Myna, like as, Godknows, we have experienced for three months, and then theybring their goods to Moure. On the other hand, i f thepaths to Moure are sometimes closed through war, the goldfinds its way fctawloAd^afrt^ to de Myna.In abandoning the port of CORMANTYN, I see no injuryfor YHH, for in my opinion when one is underselling, theless gold received, the better, and when there is no undersellingthen the Blacks come to us at the places where thegoods are; so that the expense of keeping a yacht aXe?saved.To treat the ACCANISTS so that they are contented, I am verymuch inclined, but the way they abuse it comes troublesome;in these fays one almost needs to get up from one's chairand.let them sit in it. Accory is at present reasonablyobtainable at ACRA, whereby, praise God, we. find the portis improving remarkably i n the receipt of gold; which isgreatly the cause that we give things somewhat cheap atACRA. But i f there is underselling this causes the goldto be held up there, as otherwise through the great differeaeein price, it camp to the leeward places. On of the FnglishFactors, who came to viwt visit me at de Myna, stoutlycomplained about the receipt of gold, saying among otherthings that we used %o get such fine gold from ACRA, and nowwe (sic) see it no more. In short, they complain andlament as they w i l l like.YHH say that you are very sceptical fr**>©*») about entirelyabandoning any trading places
