Phillip Giffard had received a letter from Sir George Oxenden dated 11th October 1662, sent from Swally Marine, in which he learned that Sir George has appointed Giffard number two in Carwar.
He thanks him "for y:e large preferm:t." Giffard refers to the matter of losses on pepper last year, which GO had raised in his letter. Giffard states that "M:r Masters & M:r Ball both affirme y:t y.e pepp lay at Swally Marine soo carelessly y:t all y:e place about was strewed with itt". Masters and Ball conceive "y:e Broker to bee in any fault." Giffard commits that henceforward he will "take care to see all such goods weigh:d exactly. Our advices likewise shall bee more Constant & often."
Giffard has sent his account of expenses to Sir George, and apologises that they "are not writt soo well or made up, as may bee expected ...I being soo weake & ill & soo have been ever since I begin it y:t it is noo small trouble to write at all."
Phillip Giffard later became Deputy Governor of Bombay Council, in 1672.
