_ 108 _ asks them for money for things in the royal service they say that they have none, and as long as they say this the King is not being served. It is a long way from here to India to give Your Lordship an account of this, and meanwhile trouble may arise here. If Your Lordship thinks it appropriate, you can send me a writ to order the factor to show me how he has spent the money. I only write this to Your Lordship because I think it is in the interest of the King and yourself. I kiss Your Lordship's hands, and may Our Lord increase your life and estate. From Ormuz, 23 July 1547.
