Scope and content
I have been informed that the boats which had gone to collect salt at Chaklah Nichli? have been confiscated by your staff and do not want to release them. As this is the season to collect salt and the main income of the area is from this commodity it is requested that you ask your officials to release these boats and their staff. Meanwhile, I have received a letter from the Nawab Sahib addressed to you and another one addressed to Mr Roger Drake. These are enclosed with this letter [missing]. -- Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CR8/1, entry no. 269.
