ABSTRACT
The Mexico Merchant was the ship the factors at Ayuthia had been told to expect from England. It left Gravesend in December, 1682, 1 and arrived in the Menam River on the 1st September, 1683. It carried the two factors, Mr. William Strangh and Mr. Thomas Yale, 2 who were armed with full powers to investigate the Company’s affairs, and to continue, or remove the factory, according as they thought fit.
