 The controversy arose since the agreement documents dates the records to 22 July 1639 rather than 22 August of that year.It is often stated that Francis Day and Andrew Cogan did not arrive at the Madras coast until 27 July 1639.The evidence comes from writings of Henry Davison Love, whose monumental three-volume history of Madras from 1640–1800 is a prime reference source for Madras' early history, which states that "The Naik's grant, erroneously styled a farman, which was probably drafted by Day, was delivered to Andrew Cogan at Masulipatam on September 3, 1639... Three copies are extant ... all of which are endorsed by Cogan.
