_ 197 _ If you have money from tributes, I remind you that one cruzado is worth eight in India so that it would be more profitable to send these monies to India rather than to Portugal. As this letter is being delivered to you personally by a Moor, I will not discuss any further matters. I ask you only to consider very carefully what I have said so that you can fulfil your duty as is expected of you. Letter from the Viceroy D Francisco de Almeida to Afonso de Albuquerque.
