I have sent a number of letters enquiring about your health and well-being but have not received any reply. Kindly let me know if you are well.

Thank you very much for your letter along with a letter for the Nawab Sahib. I sent the letter to the Nawab Sahib straightaway.

Just to let you know that Amir Beg Khan left for Murshidabad on the 26th of Rabi al-Sani, San 6.

I had appointed Baha Allah as the officer in charge of the district of Hugli which is attached to the sarkar of Salgam. He has reported to me that the residents and inhabitants of Calcutta, Bhakar and Mitya Garh, etc. are obstructing him in the execution of his duties and that the Naibs of those district are resisting in the payments of their dues. As they come under your jurisdiction it would be appreciated if you could help in remedying this situation

I was very pleased to hear from Babu Sudr Shiv that you have great feelings of friendship and sincerity towards me. May our friendship continue for ever. -- N.B. Babu Sudr Shiv has intimate knowledge of our affairs. His advice is always good for our friendship.

I would like to offer my services to serve your government. I would be grateful if you could communicate to Nand Kumar when and where you would like me to come to see you regarding this request.

Perhaps you may remember the day I came to see you with my son and that you informed me that you were considering arranging for a honourable discharge for me from my services. I am grateful for your kindness. Meanwhile, at this time of the harvest the situation in the country is getting worse and because of the extortion and mismanagement of the tahsildar most of the cultivators are running away and the remaining inhabitants are complaining. Although I do not consider this a very pleasant duty it is essential that I inform you about the mismanagement of the company's tahsiladar. I do not wish to ask anything more than my pension to support my dependants. As I am not keeping very well I wish to go away from this place for a change of air. I would be grateful if you could issue orders for my pension to be paid.

On the night of the 8th of Safar a middle-aged men clad in a blanket came here and stopped at the mausoleum of a faqir next to the Sarae Mo. He has put up his bed there and claims that he is the son of Rafi al-Darajat and Nuh/son-in-law of Emperor Bahadur Shah. I went to investigate this in the morning and found out that he claimed that he had escaped from Delhi Fort to Hyderabad and came here to gather support and conquer the country. I intend to take him into custody but will wait until I have completed my investigation.

Thank you for my promotion which was conveyed to me by Mr Nand Kumar. I have sent a letter of gratitude with a nuzr of one hundred rupees through him. I hope it has reached you safely.

I have received the news of your great victory with utmost joy and happiness and pray to God to grant you further successes and a long life.

He was sending one of his trusted servant Atiq Allah Shah who will brief him of the affairs and requests him to send all confidential information through him.

I am very pleased to have received your letter along with fifteen prisoners who by using your counterfeit signatures were carrying out robberies and destruction in the neighbourhood. This will bring an end to their misdeeds and prevent your name to be maligned by people. I will make sure that they get appropriate punishment so that they may deter others not to follow their path.

Thank you for your letter informing that you have received a letter from Mr Amyatt regarding the arrival of the Prince's army near Azimabad and some other matters and asking me to send Mir Muhammad Qasim Khan to see you as soon as possible. I had already received this news from some other sources, therefore, he is already on his way to see you. Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/10, item no. 368.

Thank you for your letter giving details of Mr Amyatt's negotiations/interrogation of Rajah Ram Narayan. I have received a petition from Rajah Ram Narayan, which he had sent on 11 Rajab [10 March 1759]. This is enclosed with this letter for your information. If he had written it earlier it would seem that he has been faithful. He was staying in Farrah Bagh on 16th of this month [15 March 1759) and will be going to Sadiq Bagh tomorrow. Mr Hastings will tell you further details when he comes to see you. -- Enclosure: Dated 11 Rajab, San 5; [21 March, 1758]. Letter from Maharajah Ram Narayan to Mir Ja’far. -- Thank you for your parvanah, which I received from Khvajah Afzu on 11 Rajab, San 5. You asked me that before Nawab Nasir al-Mulk Bahadur starts his journey with a large army and armaments and the arrival of Lord Clive at Bihroli whatever action is taken or happens it is necessary that Khvajah Afzu examines it personally and submits a detailed report. As our honour is at stake it is necessary that action be taken with consistency and courage. Whatever size of army is considered it is necessary that continuous and regular support is provided. He is appointed at the rear of the army and follows it. My lord, your instructions and various strategies which Khvajah Afzu has explained to you I, along with all my forces, am ready to follow them and prepared to sacrifice my life to achieve the results. All jamadars under me like Nawab Ahmad Khan, Sardar Khan, Nur Khan, Daroghah of artillery, Rao Shankar Lal, Daroghah of artillery, etc., have given money and are ready to march with me. I am not sure about Rahmat Khan and other jamadars who are accompanying the arsenal as to when they will arrive. I have written to him instructing him to join us as soon as possible. Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/10, item no.384.

I continuously pray for your safety and good health. I hope Nawab Nasir al-Mulk has arrived and is keeping you company. -- P.S: Just as I had finished writing this letter I received your letter from Ganga Prashad regretting for the delay in replying to my letter.
