This morning I delivered the last shipment of slaves, I lost too many during the long journey from Gao crossing the desert and the sale price barely equates my losses. We have bargained the price for hours until we reach an agreement. I have got something good out of this habit and it has been the news about the good price that this year here in Surat have for essential oils. If tomorrow I get a good provider this trip will not be entirely in vain. Insha'Allah, I can still double profits if we specify the purchase of incense for the prices agreed today by my brother, who awaits me in Janjira, my presence would be opportune given my best Urdu domain. Now I will go to rest.
