Reply to "Farewell Charming Old New York: Part 2"

Actually, Daddy, if I remember correctly from those days behind my desk with the abacus, The East India Company came first. After all, they thought they were headed for Ceylon and those wacky Spice Islands when they cruised up the Hudson on the Half Moon. Quickly realizing their mistake, though, they formed The West India Company, which was similar to its sister not only by name, but by the way everyone, from the cleaning lady to the director embezzled its funds. How else do you think I have been able to pay these outrageous New York rents for all these years?
