Summary

Of what passed between the Viceroy and Gaspar Pereira, and of the message sent by the Viceroy through him to the great Afonso Dalboquerque; and how he gave an account to the officers of the Factory at Cochim, and to Jorge de Melo and the rest of the captains of what had happened with regard to the pepper; and of the doings of Anchecala with them, in the Factory.

Now, because the Viceroy was but little pleased with this interview which he had with Gaspar Pereira and the other officers of the Factory, after the lapse of three days he sent for him, and in the presence of Jorge Barreto told him that on the late occasion of conversing with him respecting the impertinences of Afonso Dalboquerque, he (Gaspar) had made use of some expressions, as though he wished him ill, and to these he (the Viceroy) had not then cared to reply because the house was full of people; but since his three years of government of India were finished (as had been alleged), why had he accepted the offices which he had given him to fill with him?
