JOURNAL, R.A.S. (CEYLON). [YOL. XYIII, 
This seems to refer to Maatzuyker's letter of 31st May given 
above. The letter that Raja Sinha says he wrote on 20th May to 
Maatzuyker appears not to have reached the latter, or to have been 
for some reason ignored by him. 
176 This is referred to in Maatzuyker's reply of 21st June below. 
In view of this letter it is strange that W. van G-eer twice states 
{op» ciL, pp. 146, 147, 151) that to Maatzuyker's numerous letters the 
King vouchsafed no reply. He seems to have misapprehended the 
meaning of a passage in the letter of the Governor-G-eneral and Council 
printed on p. 99 of the Bijlagen.

Laurens Maarshalk was an uppermerchant (opperhoopman) in 
Amboina when the massacre of 1623 took place, and was probably 
reduced for his share in the bloody business. He was merchant 
(Moopman) at Batticaloa from 1639 to 1644 (see Cey. Lit. Reg., IL, pp. 
100, 375, 415, and note supra). Regarding his mission to Kandy, 
see below, and also Saar in C.A.S. JL, XL, pp. 277-279).

188 J. von der Behr (Cey. Lit, Reg., YL, p. 100) says that on 12th 
April, 1647, a report reached Negombo from Colombo that the King 
was dead. Raja Siiaha appears to have been subject to attacks of 
fever (see his letters of 21st June and 21st July, 1660, infra). 
189 Saar (C.A.S. JL, XL, p. 278) says that Maarschalk left Galle for 
Kandy on 1st April ; but see Maatzuyker's letter of 10th September, 
infra.
