Copy of a letter sent on Jumada I 16th 1171 [i.e. 26 January 1758] in reply to a letter received from the East India Company. It was a great joy to have Colonel Clive Sabitjang Bahadur join with me in chasing Siraj al-Daulah, punishing him and then receiving the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. I consider Nawab Sabitjang Bahadaur who has bestowed gifts of a kind which are not available in this country as my own son. I regard our friendship with the Company with great satisfaction and pray for the wellbeing and strengthening of the power of the Company.
