Previously I had received a copy of the sanad, along with a letter from the Nawab Vazir for you. This was sent to you. After this we were waiting for the original documents to arrive. These arrived here on 27 Shawwal, reg. yr. 5. According to these you have been appointed on the post of commander of six thousand soldiers and five thousand horsemen and have been awarded the titles of Zubdat al-Mulk, Nasir al-Daulah, Sabitjang Bahadur. These documents carrying the seals of Bakhshi al-mumalik and state officials were, on the advice of His Majesty. Delivered on the Kothi of Jagat Seth Mihtab Rai and Maharajah Saropchand Sahib. On 28th instant these two gentlemen sent a message to me to go there and inspect these documents so that we could decide upon the presentation of these documents to you. In order to do so I went to the mansion of the above mentioned seths on the morning of 29th inst., inspected the documents, congratulated each other and offered my thanks to almighty for bestowing these honours on you. These are now enclosed, along with a covering letter from the Seth Sahib. I hope you will let us know when you have received and inspected these documents. The Seth brothers have worked hard for you at the royal court and can render great services to you. I hope you will be able to write to them and thank them for their services. Meanwhile, Munshi Keda Mal, and Jagat Seth's vakil, Ranjit Rai, were thrown out of Murshidabad. Keda Mal is now imprisoned in Jahangirnagar. I had sent you earlier an application to send him to Benares. Ranjit Rai had already left for Benares and had reached Shankar Gali. Two or three days ago we received news at Murshidabad that Mir Muhammad Taqi Bahadur called on him to discuss procurement of grains and dismissed him after some discussion. As soon as he had left the main door two or three hundred gunmen and soldiers attacked them and started fighting. During this fight Ranjit Rai was killed and few other men from both sides also lost their lives or were injured. Jagat Seth and Mihtab Rai have sent a letter of complaint to me to do justice. I replied to them that I had received no news of this incident. I have sent four people to investigate this matter.
