Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Calendar of the Court Minutes Etc; Of the East India Company, 1650 1654
Besides ships and factors, it was necessary to furnish both Surat and Bantam with new Presidents. In the middle of February Aaron Baker was asked to undertake once again this responsibility at Bantam. He pleaded for a respite, pointing out that for seven teen years he had only spent one twelvemonth in England; but on the Company persisting he gave way, merely stipulating that he should be allowed to take with him his wife and some women servants. Cap tain Jeremy Blackman, who had been nominated at the same time to fill the next vacancy in the post of President at Surat, made a like demand, and the Committees agreed to permit this in both cases.
