year_n past_a i_o be_v inform_v that_o divers_a turk_n and_o moor_n cause_v we_o to_o set_v down_o much_o more_o than_o their_o slave_n cost_v the_o which_o i_o do_v advise_v the_o bassa_n he_o swear_v by_o the_o head_n of_o his_o master_n the_o great_a turk_n i_o shall_v pay_v not_o a_o asper_n more_o than_o they_o cost_v in_o the_o market_n at_o the_o first_o sale_n when_o they_o be_v bring_v on_o shore_n the_o register_n be_v take_v of_o those_o which_o be_v here_o there_o be_v 650_o and_o upward_o beside_o above_o a_o too_o in_o the_o ship_n of_o this_o place_n now_o at_o candia_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o great_a turk_n and_o after_o payment_n of_o the_o 10000_o dollar_n bagree_v to_o give_v he_o six_o per_fw-la cent_n for_o what_o money_n i_o shall_v import_v to_o pay_v the_o ransom_n of_o slave_n otherwise_o must_v have_v pay_v ten_o per_fw-la cent_n then_o also_o we_o agree_v for_o his_o duty_n for_o exportation_n of_o the_o slave_n 20_o pesas_n per_fw-la man_n to_o the_o bassa_n and_o to_o the_o officer_n half_a duty_n all_o which_o come_v unto_o 31½_n dollar_n per_fw-la slave_n without_o agreement_n they_o will_v have_v cost_v about_o 50_o

but_o the_o young_a man_n after_o turn_v they_o carry_v to_o alexandria_n and_o other_o part_n to_o the_o eastward_n now_o for_o the_o free_n of_o the_o captive_n my_o desire_n be_v that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v with_o all_o brevity_n and_o with_o ready_a money_n while_o this_o bassa_n be_v here_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n have_v rather_o keep_v their_o slave_n then_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v free_v they_o come_v to_o much_o more_o per_fw-mi head_n then_o i_o expect_v the_o reason_n be_v here_o be_v many_o woman_n and_o child_n which_o cost_v 50_o l._n per_fw-la head_n first_o penny_n and_o may_v sell_v they_o for_o a_o 100_o beside_o they_o there_o be_v divers_a which_o be_v master_n of_o ship_n and_o carpenter_n caulker_n cooper_n sailemaker_n surgeon_n and_o other_o which_o be_v here_o high_o esteem_v so_o that_o they_o do_v come_v unto_o 32_o l._n per_fw-la man_n first_o penny_n as_o they_o have_v rate_v they_o one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o port_n charge_n be_v 6_o l_o 6_o s._n per_fw-la head_n so_o they_o will_v be_v about_o 38_o l._n per_fw-la head_n put_v a_o ship_n board_n i_o desire_v to_o have_v agree_v with_o they_o at_o a_o certain_a price_n one_o with_o another_o old_a &_o young_a that_o they_o will_v not_o consent_v unto_o aleage_v that_o they_o be_v buy_v at_o several_a price_n and_o it_o will_v make_v trouble_n among_o they_o
