Scope and content
Muhammad Barakat Khan Sahib, son of Nawab Muhammad Munir al-Din Khan Sahib, has reached here after a long and difficult journey. He is coming to see you to seek forgiveness and request some favours. I have already researched into the conduct of his father and his friendship for you from Nawab Vazir al-Mumalik. The letter I received from the Nawab Vazir confirming this has been lost, along with other papers when a boat capsized near Bhagalpur. He is a courtier of the Nawab and a friend of Muhammad Ali Khan.
