Refers to receipt of messages in a European (Farangi) language, and to the Dutch.

I have received today a letter from Maharajah Ram Narayan Bahadur and Rajah Murlidhar, dated 22 Rajab, reg.yr. 6, along with a reply to your letter. These are enclosed with this letter. I have received a letter from Rajah Fath Singh that he has started the war with cannons and guns. -- P.S. I have received a letter from my mother addressed to you. This is also enclosed. -- Enclosure 1: Letter from Maharajah Ram Narayan to Clive, 22 Rajab,[ 1172], San 5 [21 March, 1759]. -- Thank you for your reply regarding the return of Mr Amyatt and his associates from here. I would like to assure you that I have always been faithful and will always remain so. I have so far managed to defend the fortress by whatever means I have available here. The enemy has tried to enter the city but we have made sure that they do not enter the fort with their armaments. Today, 22 Rajab, San 5, the enemy forces have marched from Phulwari and have entered Bagh Ja’far Khan. We will be conducting negotiations with them tomorrow. I am desperately waiting for your help to arrive. If life permits I will be able to tell you the rest personally. -- Enclosure 2: Letter from Rajah Murlidhar, 22 Rajab,[1172], San 5 [21 March, 1759]. – I am sure Maharajah Ram Narayan has been keeping you informed about the situation here. The Maharajah has been constantly in touch with me through messages or personal contacts about the progress of the Company forces. Today 22nd Rajab, the army of the Prince has left Phulwari and entered Bagh Ja’far Khan. They tried their best to enter the city but the Maharajah got them involved in negotiations and meanwhile managed to strengthen its defences. He has so far not lost any ground but we will see what happens tomorrow during negotiations. The situation at Shajajahnabad is that the King Emperor has bestowed the governorship of Azimabad on another Prince and the governorship of Allahabad to a son of Nawab Shuja al-Daulah Bahadur. The Nawab has left Lucknow and is now at Bijnor. He has bestowed the khillat of governorship on his son and asked him to march to Allahabad. I do not know what is the logic in taking over the fort of Allahabad. Enclosure 3: Letter from Bibi Shah Khanam, daughter of Mirza Muhammad to Clive, 22 Rajab, [1172], San 5 [21 March, 1759]. -- I have written three letters to you recently but have not received reply to any one of them. I will appreciate if you could inform me about your wellbeing. Another, contemporary translation of the contents of the letter and the enclosures are CC2/11, items no. 422-24.
