I have requested your agents here to put all my properties under one heading for tax purposes so that when I submit my annual accounts you will be able to check them at a glance and if there was any adjustment to be made you could then summon me to do so and I will gladly come and settle the account. I will be grateful if you could let me know if this is acceptable to you. If so, you could send your vakils Shaikh Muhammad and Malik Ram to investigate the matter and make their recommendations to you and you could then write to Nawab Sabitjang Bahaur [Lord Clive] who could in turn advise Nawab Nasir al-Mulk and Rajah Balabh Sahib to follow his recommendations.

Copy of a letter sent on Jumada I 16th 1171 [i.e. 26 January 1758] in reply to a letter received from the East India Company. It was a great joy to have Colonel Clive Sabitjang Bahadur join with me in chasing Siraj al-Daulah, punishing him and then receiving the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. I consider Nawab Sabitjang Bahadaur who has bestowed gifts of a kind which are not available in this country as my own son.
