I have made seven millions at the least.

I am bringing back a large part of it in indigo, one third in safe London securities, and another third in good solid gold.

Your remittances helped me to make the sum I had settled in my own mind much sooner than I expected.

I wanted two millions for my daughters and a competence for myself.
I have been engaged in the opium trade with the largest houses in Canton, all ten times richer than ever I was.

You have no idea, in Europe, what these rich East India merchants are.
