Question

I told him he had been so generous to me in everything that I could not offer to make any price of the boat, but left it entirely to him: upon which he told me he would give me a note of hand to pay me eighty pieces of eight for it at Brazil; and when it came there, if any one offered to give more, he would make it up.

Accepted Answer

Yo le respondí que había sido tan generoso conmigo, que no podía ponerle precio y lo dejaba completamente a su criterio. Me contestó que me daría una nota firmada por ochenta piezas de a ocho, que me pagaría cuando llegáramos a Brasil y, una vez allí, si alguien me hacía una mejor oferta, él la igualaría.
