 Thibet in 1624. 



" In a letter from Mogor (Aug. 15, 1627) to Fr. Claudius 

 Francis Septalio of Como ? Upper Italy, Father J. de Castro 

 speaks of Jahangir's intimate friendship with two of the 

 Fathers, whom he always keeps in his Court." 



No Catalogues are at hand for the period between 

 January 1624 and 1641. A batch of old unpublished letters 

 from Mogor will help us to bridge the gap. From a letter of 

 Father J. de Castro, dated 20 Nov. 1631, Bengal, we learn 

 that he is in the service of Mirza Zii-1 Qarnin, at a place 250 

 miles away from Agra, and 300 miles from Hugh. This I take 

 to be Patna. Writing from * Mogul ' [Patna? ], on 8 Aug. 

 1632, he states that Father Francis Morando is with him, 

 pending his departure for Thibet. On 28 Aug. 1632. he writes 

 once more from Bengal [Patna?], and notes that there are 

 five Fathers in Thibet, and two others in Airra who are 

 intended for Thibet. His next two letters are from Agra, 

 24 Nov. 1632 and 6 Febr. 1633 : in the latter he speaks again 

 of five Fathers in Thibet. So does Father Francis Corsi in a 

 letter from Agra, 5 Oct. 1633, adding that they are in two or 

 three different places. There is another letter from Father de 

 Castro dated Agra, 8 October 1633, and one of Father Morando, 

 15 Oct. 1633, Agra, dealing like that of Father Corsi (Agra, 5 

 Oct. 1633) with the arrival at Agra in July of 4,000 Portuguese 

 prisoners from Hugh. 



From some other source, Father J. B. Van Meurs sent 

 the following extract : 



" In 1633, the following are in the Mogor Mission: Father 

 Matthew de Payva : from Lisbon ; aged 41 ; has been 28 years
