Never
anything
was
more
honorable
than
the
proceedings
upon
this
procuration
;
for
in
less
than
seven
months
I
received
a
large
packet
from
the
survivors
of
my
trustees
,
the
merchants
,
for
whose
account
I
went
to
sea
,
in
which
were
the
following
particular
letters
and
papers
enclosed
.
First
,
there
was
the
account-current
of
the
produce
of
my
farm
or
plantation
from
the
year
when
their
fathers
had
balanced
with
my
old
Portugal
captain
,
being
for
six
years
;
the
balance
appeared
to
be
1,174
moidores
in
my
favor
.
Secondly
,
there
was
the
account
of
four
years
more
,
while
they
kept
the
effects
in
their
hands
,
before
the
government
claimed
the
administration
,
as
being
the
effects
of
a
person
not
to
be
found
,
which
they
called
civil
death
;
and
the
balance
of
this
,
the
value
of
the
plantation
increasing
,
amounted
to
38,892
crusadoes
,
which
made
3,241
moidores
.

Thirdly
,
there
was
the
prior
of
the
Augustines
'
account
,
who
had
received
the
profits
for
above
fourteen
years
;
but
not
being
able
to
account
for
what
was
disposed
to
the
hospital
,
very
honestly
declared
he
had
872
moidores
not
distributed
,
which
he
acknowledged
to
my
account
;
as
to
the
king
's
part
,
that
refunded
nothing
.
There
was
a
letter
of
my
partner
's
,
congratulating
me
very
affectionately
upon
my
being
alive
,
giving
me
an
account
how
the
estate
was
improved
,
and
what
it
produced
a
year
,
with
a
particular
of
the
number
of
squares
or
acres
that
it
contained
;
how
planted
,
how
many
slaves
there
were
upon
it
,
and
making
two
and
twenty
crosses
for
blessings
,
told
me
he
had
said
so
many
Ave
Marias
to
thank
the
blessed
Virgin
that
I
was
alive
;
inviting
me
very
passionately
to
come
over
and
take
possession
of
my
own
;
and
in
the
meantime
,
to
give
him
orders
to
whom
he
should
deliver
my
effects
,
if
I
did
not
come
myself
;
concluding
with
a
hearty
tender
of
his
friendship
,
and
that
of
his
family
;
and
sent
me
as
a
present
seven
fine
leopards
'
skins
,
which
he
had
,
it
seems
,
received
from
Africa
by
some
other
ship
which
he
had
sent
thither
,
and
who
,
it
seems
,
had
made
a
better
voyage
than
I
.
He
sent
me
also
five
chests
of
excellent
sweetmeats
,
and
a
hundred
pieces
of
gold
uncoined
,
not
quite
so
large
as
moidores
.
By
the
same
fleet
,
my
two
merchant
trustees
shipped
me
1,200
chest
of
sugar
,
800
rolls
of
tobacco
,
and
the
rest
of
the
whole
account
in
gold
.
I
might
well
say
now
,
indeed
,
that
the
latter
end
of
Job
better
than
the
beginning
.
It
is
impossible
to
express
the
flutterings
of
my
very
heart
when
I
looked
over
these
letters
,
and
especially
when
I
found
all
my
wealth
about
me
;
for
as
the
Brazil
ship
come
all
in
fleets
,
the
same
ships
which
brought
my
letters
brought
my
goods
,
and
the
effects
were
safe
in
the
river
before
the
letters
came
to
my
hand
.
In
a
word
,
I
turned
pale
,
and
grew
sick
;
and
had
not
the
old
man
run
and
fetched
me
a
cordial
,
I
believe
the
sudden
surprise
of
joy
had
overset
Nature
,
and
I
had
died
upon
the
spot
.
Nay
,
after
that
I
continued
very
ill
,
and
was
so
some
hours
,
till
a
physician
being
sent
for
,
and
something
of
the
real
cause
of
my
illness
being
known
,
he
ordered
me
to
be
let
blood
,
after
which
I
had
relief
,
and
grew
well
;
but
I
verily
believe
,
if
it
had
not
been
eased
by
a
vent
given
in
the
manner
to
the
spirits
,
I
should
have
died
.

I
was
now
master
,
all
on
a
sudden
,
of
above
L5
,000
sterling
in
money
,
and
had
an
estate
,
as
I
might
well
call
it
,
in
the
Brazils
,
of
above
a
thousand
pounds
a
year
,
as
sure
as
an
estate
of
lands
in
England
;
and
in
a
word
,
I
was
in
a
condition
which
I
scarce
knew
how
to
understand
,
or
how
to
compose
myself
for
the
enjoyment
of
it
.
The
first
thing
I
did
was
to
recompense
my
original
benefactor
,
my
good
old
captain
,
who
had
been
first
charitable
to
me
in
my
distress
,
kind
to
me
in
my
beginning
,
and
honest
to
me
at
the
end
.
I
showed
him
all
that
was
sent
me
.
I
told
him
that
,
next
to
the
providence
of
Heaven
,
which
disposes
all
things
,
it
was
owing
to
him
;
and
that
it
now
lay
on
me
to
reward
him
,
which
I
would
do
a
hundredfold
.
So
I
first
returned
to
him
the
hundred
moidores
I
had
received
of
him
;
then
I
sent
for
a
notary
,
and
caused
him
to
draw
up
a
general
release
or
discharge
for
the
470
moidores
which
he
had
acknowledged
he
owed
me
in
the
fullest
and
firmest
manner
possible
;
after
which
I
cause
a
procuration
to
be
drawn
,
empowering
him
to
be
my
receiver
of
the
annual
profits
of
my
plantation
,
and
appointing
my
partner
to
account
to
him
,
and
make
the
returns
by
the
usual
fleets
to
him
in
my
name
;
and
a
clause
in
the
end
,
being
a
grant
of
100
moidores
a
year
to
him
,
during
his
life
,
out
of
the
effects
,
and
50
moidores
a
year
to
his
son
after
for
his
life
;
and
thus
I
requited
my
old
man
.
