Scope and content
The districts of Salimabad, Sundhargul, Lakhardiya, etc. are part of my state and the cultivation of these lands is in the name of Rajah Lakhi Narayan. Most of your employees who travel between Calcutta and Jahangirnagar pass though these lands and give all sorts of troubles to people living here. In the same way, the employees of the Kothi Lakhi with the help of other people who come here on elephants for their business also disrupt and damage the work of the artisans and businessmen. It is therefore requested that you appoint two companies of guards to protect the two Kothis and the people of these areas.
