Scope and content
When you came to visit us here you assured me that you would be able to attend to the bank drafts on your return to Murshidabad. Now my bankers/creditors [mahajans] are pressing me hard to return their money and they have installed guards on my doors. They are saying that it is a time of war and that they want their monies returned at all costs. As I have no one else to turn to except you I seek your help to save me from these mahajans.
