Scope and content

I have received your letter demanding one Lac rupees for the upkeep of your men. I have tried my best to comply with your demand but I am short of cash at present and have not been able to pay even my own sepoys since the month of Safar. I have been able to collect fifty thousand rupees which I have given to your agent to forward to you for the upkeep of your army. As you have suggested, I have taken the case of Raja Ram Narayan to Huzur and it has been agreed that he will award him a Khillat on Thursday. And after enquiring about your wishes from George Camp[?] he wants to come and see you. Meanwhile, I have received a bottle of very useful kushtah from an Indian Hakim. If you wish I will be glad to send you this bottle to you. -- Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CR8/1, entry no. 408.
