Scope and content
Shuja al-Daulah Bahadur has written informing me about the mischievious activities of Mir Qasim against the British which he is carrying on with the help of Afghan hosts and that you are sending an army towards Allahabad under the command of Colonel Barker. From the news I have received from Qasim Ali Khan it appears that he is a prisoner of Rohilla Sardars. They keep a very strict eye on him in case he tries to escape. Only if some disaster happens to the Rohillas will he be able to escape and create trouble for the British.
