Scope and content

I have known Sayyid Fath Ali Khan for a number of years and we are close friends. He used to have the jagir of Damarpak with an annual income of sixteen thousand rupees. Now, because of the invasion of the English/Angrezan, his enemies have occupied a number of villages belonging to his state. As the livelihood of his brothers, sons and grandsons depends on the income of these villages it is requested that, with the approval of Mr Masklain/MasClain, I send them to Calcutta so that they could get acquainted with Navab Shuja al-Mulk Bahadur and he could help them in regaining the possession of their ancestral jagir. It is regretted that because of the uncertain circumstances the Khan himself is unable to accompany them to Calcutta.
