Eitem CR9/14/6. - Letter from Amir Beg Khan,

I have received your letter stating that an Armenian has complained that he is not being allowed his merchandise loaded on two boats to be transferred on to a government ship and the officials are asking him to pay taxes. This Armenian is not telling the truth. As a matter of fact he left the boats on the night of 8th and 9th of this month and has expressed his satisfaction. I have instructed my men not to load anyone's merchandise on the official ships and these Armenians want to do the contrary. Anyhow, I have written to Nand Kumar to assist these Armenians. I have instructed him also that private merchandise should not be carried on official ships.
