East India Company - Fort St. George [Coromandel Coast
announcing safe arrival at Fort St. George, the "loose management here & the ill consequences of Roberts' abominable practises at ffort St. David", the latter being "a plague to me and a canker to the Comp. as Estate for warr & Trade can never agree", stating he has sent Mr Evans to Bengall and Persia. In a postscript to the letter he states he hopes that Evans will "keep clear of the French or I am undone", seemingly a retained copy (marked 'duplicate'), 1 page, folio, integral blank, Fort St. George, October 15th 1711, postscript dated 6 Jan 1711/12
Note: Edward Harrison (1674-1732), was an official of the East India Company and served as President of Madras 1711-1717. During his time in office he undertook a major rebuilding of the settlement, and dealt with several incidents, including the putting down of a minor revolt. The 'Roberts' Harrison speaks of so disparagingly was Gabriel Roberts (c. 1665–c.1734) of Ampthill who was the Deputy Governor of Fort St. David.
