Extract Letter from the Court of Directors to 

 the Governor in Council, Madras, dated the ^Oth 

 May 1792. 



Par. 5. We approve of the encouragement that 

 has been held out to the cultivators and manufac- 

 turers of indigo, by your resolutions for remitting 

 the usual duty on indigo brought into Madras for 

 the purpose of exportation to England. As a fur- 

 ther encouragement, we have consented to a re- 

 mission of two and a half of the five per cent, 

 levied at home, under the usual name of the Com- 

 pany's duty. 



6. With respect to the indigo sent home on 

 account of Messrs. Roebuck and Abbott, and 

 Mr. Andrew Ross, we enclose (a number in the 

 packet) an account of its produce at our sales, 

 from which those gentlemen will be enabled to 

 determine how far it is likely to answer their 

 expectations.
