Maharajah Rajah Januji Bhonsla has asked me to deliver some of his letters to you. For this purpose I have now reached Katak on the 29th of Zi al-Hajj.

I received your letter informing me that you had reached Muradbagh on the 9th of Ramazan and came to know that Navab Nasir al-Mulk was annoyed with Maharajah Dulabha Ram. You managed to resolve this issue after negotiating between the two and that you have called Jagat Seths to assist you in the court case of Genda? Mall. When I reached Murshidabad I came to know from my servants that you were unhappy about my performance and that until I perform my duties properly you would not be happy with me. Please rest assured that I am a devoted servant of the company and that I am extremely happy that you have now entered Murshidabad. Maharajah Dulabha Ram is a very sincere well-wisher of yours and I am glad that the misunderstanding between him and Nasir al-Mulk have been removed. As far as the case of Genda [?] Mall is concerned it was not appropriate that a person of your status should involve himself in such minor affairs. However, whatever you have decided must be proper.

Babu Ram, Amlahdar of parganah Khandar Machal, in the State of Munni Lal had complained to the Company that my elder brother, Kali Charan, owed them five thousand rupees. As a result the company officers have taken him into custody for non-payment of this amount; this is nothing but a fabrication. I am a poor man and cannot afford this large sum. As I am an obedient servant of the company I would be grateful if you could write to Mr Heston [Hasting?] so that he may be released.
