Rhan oRobert Clive Papers
I have received your letter demanding one Lac rupees for the upkeep of your men. I have tried my best to comply with your demand but I am short of cash at present and have not been able to pay even my own sepoys since the month of Safar. I have been able to collect fifty thousand rupees which I have given to your agent to forward to you for the upkeep of your army. As you have suggested I have taken the case of Rajah Ram Narayan to Huzur and it has been agreed that he will award him a Khillat on Thursday. After enquiring about your wishes from George Camp? he wants to come and see you. Meanwhile, I have received a bottle of very useful kushtah from an Indian Hakim; if you wish I will be glad to send this bottle to you.
