_ 180 _ In the same year (1547) Dom Manuel de Lima sent a letter to Dom João de Castro, Ormuz, on the 27th of September 1547, in which he mentioned events between the Turkish Sultan and the Persian Shah:(46) Sir, Events in Basra are more confusing than any of us here thought they could be. Today, 22nd September, a terrada arrived from Basra bringing me letters from Domingos Barbudo about the news he had received, although he had arrived in Basra so few days before that he could not have heard much news, for he does not write about some items which we know here to be true. He does not write to me of twenty-two terradas which the Turks had seized in Basra, which came from places which obey the Turks. (46) Document no. and reference.
