I sent home 100 pounds for my mother, directly the money came from Calcutta; and told her that I hoped to be able to send home at least as much, every year." "A good deal more, lad, if you like.

I calculate these contracts that I have got will bring in a pound a head so that, by the time that the war is over, I hope to have cleared 8000 pounds, which will be about what you will make by your rubies; and when trade begins again, we shall be in a position to do it on a big scale.
But I still think that it will not be fair to take that money." "Well, uncle, if you won't take it, I certainly won't have anything to do with the money that you make, while I am away; so please don't let us say anything more about it.

Shall I give you that eighteen hundred now; or will you have an order upon the paymaster, in Calcutta ?" "That would be the best way, if you will have it so, lad.

I have left money with Johnson, at Ramgur, for the next herd that is to come down here; and have orders from my agent on their agents, at Dalla, for those that I am going to buy for the Manipur column.

So I don't want the money now and, suppose the dhow were to be lost going up, the cash might go with it.
