Scope and content
Thank you for your letter with the good news that two large ships with a large force on board, have arrived and some more are on their way. I am sure these will help you to achieve your heart's desires in full. Meanwhile, the letter, which Rajah Singh had written to me is enclosed for your information. -- Enclosure: Letter from Amir Beg Khan to Clive. I have earlier informed you about my circumstances in detail. The latest news is that I reached Calcutta with my army on 15th Rabi al-Avval, San 5 and went to see Navab Sabitjang, Masih Jang Bahadur and Diwan Nand Kumar. I explained to them my circumstances in detail and sought their advice in paying back the loans I had obtained to pay the government. They have adviced me to settle the loans of the mahajans first. As the repayment of these loans is increasing day by day it is becoming difficult for me to pay the loans back. I seek you help to intervene. -- Seal of Rajah Ram Singh Bahadur, 1171. Another, contrmporary translation of the letter, but not the enclosure, is CC2/4, entry no. 167.
