Scope and content

Thank you very much for your letter informing me that two ships laden with guns, cannons, and other ammunition have arrived from Denmark and that the E.I. Company was currently involved in selling these arms. You have sought our help in the sale of these armaments and summoned me to Calcutta. -- The news of the arrival of these armaments from Denmark has been known to Janab-I Ali [Nawab Sahib] for some time. He had ordered me twice to confiscate these armaments. Following these orders I have already sent my men to confiscate these armaments. I have also written to Denmark that they should obey and respect the laws and orders of the Nawab. I am now waiting for any further orders from the Nawab Sahib to follow. As far as your letter is concerned, I am always ready to help you in the promotion of your trade. God willing on next Friday, which is the day after tomorrow, I will be sending the sum of one Lac rupees as an instalment for the month of Bhadun as well as part payment of the loan from Mr John Sen.
