Scope and content
We have, by the 28th Jamadi al-Avval, San 8, exhausted all the money which was advanced to us. Out of this sum we had to pay the money we owed to the bankers and at the same time we have not been able to pay the salaries of our army for the past six or seven months. I am therefore asking you to send me five or six Lac rupees as a bankers draft through Maharajah Shitab Rae so that we can satisfy the needs of our army.
