_ 234 _ His letter says that there are Arabs there. I am sending Your Lordship the letter written to me by Domingos Barbudo, which reports all the affairs of Basra. I strongly confirm to Your Lordship that in appointing Lucas David, Your Lordship’s servant as gatekeeper of the Customs House, you have done a great service to His Highness. I shall immediately put him in place because the other one served very poorly in the post. I am sending Your Lordship two cases of pears and one of apples. I kiss Your Lordship’s hands. May the Lord God increase Your Lordship’s life and estate. Ormuz, 3 December 1547. D Manuel de Lima
