 European travellers sustained in passing through 

 his dominions, and proposed causing the erec-

 Egypt and Bombay, and had commissioned 

 some from Europe; besides inviting an indigo 

 manufacturer fr^om Madras for the pm'pose of

 the people of which province do not understand 

 the process, as practised in those districts of 

 India where the best indigo is made.

 pressed his satisfaction, and I believe that he 

 did so.
