C. O. 54/42
Copy
A letter written in order that God may grant prosperity and protection to Pusweylle of the 7 Korales.
In consequence of the message which you sent, I have directed Wattala Appu to attend you. Beside having received information that the English Officer residing in the Kandyan Country is at present indisposed, and there being reason to believe that he would derive benefit from the Provisions and Clothing of this Country to which he was formerly accustomed, I send herewith a few things sent to the purpose and request that by your assistance they may be delivered to him. Moreover accept my assurances that my former Friendship continues unaltered towards you, and that I shall be happy when opportunity offers to meet and confer with you at the Frontiers concerning matters beneficial to both parties.
Written and dispatched at Colombo
On 14th of March 1812.
Thus - - John D’Oyly, Chief Translator
Government and Disave of Colombo
[Signed] J. D’Oyly
Some Wine, Tea, Sugar, Medicines and some articles of European clothing were sent to Major Davy by this opportunity
