And now, having resolved to dispose of my plantation in the Brazils, I wrote to my old friend at Lisbon, who, having offered it to the two merchants, the survivors of my trustees, who lived in the Brazils, they accepted the offer, and remitted thirty-three thousand pieces of eight to a correspondent of theirs at Lisbon to pay for it.
Ik schreef thans aan mijn vriend in Lissabon over den verkoop mijner plantaadje, en op zijn raad bood ik die aan de zoons van mijne gemagtigden te koop aan.
