France and Ireland. May the Lord of all the universe perpetu- 
ate his kingdom, and also assist him against all his enemies. 
After that, be it known unto the king that 1 was very much 
pleased to hear the words of the letter which the king ordered 
to be presented to me. Now it is stated therein that the king 
requests that the English people may trade in Tiku and _ Pria- 
man, and that they may settle there to trade, as in the time of 
His Highness the late Saidu ’I1-Mukammal. Now it is my decree 
that the English people cannot, as desired by the king, receive 
my permission to trade in Tiku and Priaman, and cannot settle 
there to trade, for those countries are wild, and moreover are 
distant from us. If the people of Tiku or Priaman should mo- 
lest them, we should certainly get an infamous report with King 
James. By the grace of the Lord of all the universe, if the 
English people who are servants of the king desire to trade, let 
them trade in Acheen; and if they desire to send their factors 
to trade, let them send them to Acheen, so that whoever shall 
molest them we may quickly make inquiry and punish with a 
just punishment, since they are the servants of the king who is 
in correspondence with us. May the Lord of all the universe 
give peace to King James on the throne of the kingdom of 
ingland for ever. This letter was written in Acheen in the 
year of the Mohammedan era one thousand and twenty-four.
