Scope and content

Thank you for your letter. I am glad to know that you are pursuing the Prince and his army. I have also received a letter from Mr Amyyat informing me that he was keeping a close eye on the movements of the Prince and that he would be coming to this province. Maharajah Ram Narayan has written complaining that you do not care about the developments here. Perhaps you do not remember what Siraj al-Daulah did in similar matters. I can assure you if he does not call the English for help now it may become too late for him. As soon as I had heard the news of the Prince coming towards this place I was summoned to Murshidabad. At the time of writing this letter I am now on my way to Murshidabad. It is well known in this part of the world that the Prince and Navab Shuja al-Daulah have evil designs.
