Scope and content
Thank you for letter informing that Mr Hastings has obtained a licence/ dastak-I rahdari to send salt to Azimabad and that I should write to the state officials that they should not charge any duty on the salt exported by him. In fact, Mr Hastings was issued a permit for last year only and it is not valid now. As the duty on twenty thousands maunds of salt is between two to three thousand rupees please let me know if you want us to forgo this duty. -- Another contemporary translation o fthe contents is CC3/3, enry no. 121.

Note
In the first draft of this catalogue the letter was dated sometime between 1757 and 1759. Once the translation in CC3/3 was identified it became possible to give a more precise date. The date, however, is the date of receipt.
