SOME OLD MALAY MSS. 143 
my lord the Governor, His Highness the Sultan desires to buy 
saltpetre, that is what His Highness the Sultan desires of my lord 
the Governor. Once more, if there is love and a disposition to 
help me with the Captain, I ask you to assist me by buying 
blankets, that is if the Captain has love and a willingness 
to help. Again, as for those ambassadors from Birni, I entrust 
them first of all to God, the Lord of all the universe, and the 
blessing of his prophet (to him be peace), and afterwards to 
your help and care for all of them, if they should be guilty of 
mistakes and stupidity. In this matter [I desire your love, sin- 
cerity and affection towards me. My love for the Captain is 
(shown) only with (this present of) an individual and a desembong 
mat; pray do not despise this mark of the friendship of my 
heart towards the Captain.
