" Further, a lascoreen handed over to me a paper given to him to 

 be delivered over tome by an attendant of the Ambassadors, who 

 arrived from Siam two or three days after the Ambassadors had 

 left. As no one could be got here who could decipher the address 

 on the said letter, having considered it well to despatch it to you, 

 I have done so ; if it is for you you may keep it ; if not, please 

 return it, certifying to me of its contents carefully. 



"With my greetings and compliments (to you), this is thus 

 written and despatched on '1 hursday, the 4th of July, in the 

 year 1754, in the Castle at Colombo. 



"Johan Gideon Loten."
