Maharajah Sahib went to see Nawab Madar al-Daulah on 17 Rajab, reg.yr. 5. On the 19th instant, he went to see the King and offered gifts of an elephant, horse, palanquin, etc. In return, he was bestowed with a khillat and other gifts. The Nawab has encamped today, 23 Rajab, in the garden of Jafar Khan and the army of the Nawab is believed to be in Mithpore/ Minhapore. The Assistant Director of the French Factory went to visit the Dutch Factory with four or five of his men.

I had earlier sent you a report on the situation in Azimabad. I hope you have read it by now. My advice is that we should sent reinforcements to Maharajah Ram Narayan. We can then achieve our victory. I will be leaving here in the early part of the evening tonight. If you travel at midnight your army can easily reach the destination in time. It is necessary that we march continuously to reach the battlefield as it is imperative that we help the Maharajah Sahib. -- P.S. As the Maharajah is fighting on our behalf he should be able to issue order on our behalf. Although he did not reply to two or three parvanahs I had issued previously but in the present circumstances he may be allowed to do so.

I reached near Shahabad on the 21st of this month and sought the employment of the Nawab. I was instructed that I should travel all night and reach Bhagalpur and make arrangements for boats and provisions there and then send them to him. I had no option but to reach Bhagalpur and make the appropriate arrangements and now I have reached Kahlkanun [?] and want to come and pay my respect to you. I am very delighted that you will be coming to pay us a visit.

I have received the news that after the great battle the Prince with his remaining men had sought your protection but today I receive the news that the Prince did not stay at Naubatpore but went to Alipore. It is learnt that Mirza Kochak has been killed in the battle. According to another report he was only injured but because of the long journey the Prince has undertaken it is likely that he was killed in the battle. However, whatever may be the case it is good news for us. Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/12, item no.494.
