Scope and content
You may have read the news of this area from the persons faithful to you in this area as well as from copies of letters which have come to my possession and which I had forwarded to you. Today, Thursday, 22nd inst. [22 March 1759] the army of the Prince marched from Phulwari and entered the Bagh of Jafar Khan. Madar al-Daulah is encamped near Tun Tun Khurdah[?]. Harkarahs have brought news to the Prince that Murshidabad artillery was stationed near the borders of Bhagalpore and it was protected by a company of soldiers and horsemen. After hearing this news the Prince ordered a force to travel at night and attack this post and recover the artillery from the enemy. He also ordered that another post at Monghyr should also be conquered. He has, therefore, despatched his forces for this purpose. Your letters which you had addressed to Rajah Ram Narayan and Bare [British officer] Sahib were received by Gulab Chand but he did not inform me about their presence. I came to know only after they were returned to you. Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/11, item no. 435.
