Editorial history






Abstract & context


Cesar Chambrelan has received Sir George Oxenden’s letter of 10th October, as well as of the 4th November and European letters, together with a parcel of gold.

Chambrelan refers to a sum of money he borrowed last year from George Oxenden. He states he would have paid George Oxenden from the gold, but "since it belongs to others & not to myself I must desire you (if you thinke fittinge) to lett mee have as much of my debt comes to on acco:t of my wages."

Chambrelan leaves it to George Oxenden to decide whether he should remain in Carwar, stating "my desire is y:t I may bee Imployed where you thinke I may learne most experience, my ambition being as yett neither for monyes, nor preferment but knowledge in these Indian affaires." He asks Sir George Oxenden to continue to look after "w:t I shall have from Europe" and thanks him for his assistance to him personally.

In a postscriptum Chambrelan refers to enclosing a letter from "my Brother Godfrey" which came to Chambrelan under cover for him. He also refers to a dozen bottles of french wine and 2 dozen bottles of Canary which Chambrelan’s father asks Sir George Oxenden to accept from him
