Affidavit and Remarks on Captain Cape’s Lace Deal
The lettered affidavit by William Billers and William Pofton claims Captain Cape bought damaged lace and silver lace from them for profit, with a promise of no loss and a favorably worded letter to the Bombay governor. Remarks defend their positions, refute Lacker’s allegations, and defend the integrity of the East India Company dealings.
