Alvaro de Castro, Qalhat on the 26th of April 1547, explaining the situation in Ormuz:(9) Sir, On 28 April here in Kalhat I was given a letter from you, which had been brought by a terrada from Diu. You thus paid me an inestimable compliment. There was also one from the Lord Governor, by whom, according to the great and food of India, who had put much effort into say so, I had been insulted(A). They have behaved as they always do, and I wish to say nothing more for my own pleasure and delight than that they envy my relationship with the Lord Governor. (A) See letter of 18 March to D.João de Castro, in which D.Manuel writes of the rumour spread by “certain men of low rank” to the effect that he was on had terms with the Governor.
