Scope and content

Thank you very much for your letter of 29 Ramadan asking me to keep an eye on the harkarahs who carry post from Nawab Shuja al-Dalaulah between Allahabad and Azimabad and instructing them not to disclose the contents of the letters to anyone else, along with a letter from Hafiz Rahmat Khan Bahadur dated 11 Shawwal. -- As far as the matter of post from Nawab Shuja al-Daulah is concerned I have instructed all harkarahs dealing with this post that they should not allow anyone to interfere in this post. Meanwhile, the letter of Nawab Hafiz al-Mulk Bahadur was sent the same day. You have complained about the delay in receiving the revenue money from here. I have never neglected my duties in this respect and have worked hard day and night to achieve the maximum results. I have recently reorganized the system of collection and a few days ago had sent the details to Nawab Muin al-Daulah Sayyid Muhammad Raza Khan Bahadur Muzaffar Jang who may have already informed you about this. Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, Shawwal 13 sent; Shawwal 23 Thursday received: March 28 received 1766. Another version is CR9/24/43. Envelope marked A No. 3
