Part of Robert Clive Papers
I have just received two letters from the Nawab, one is addressed to Mr Wajih and the other to you. I have been instructed by the Nawab to receive a reply to these letters as soon as possible and send them to him. I am enclosing both these letters and request that you send me the replies so that I can pass them on to the Nawab. Earlier, after receiving the account of the Dutch, he wrote to the Director of Dutch East India Company at Chochrah. The letter was delivered to him by the peshkar of Fakhr al-Tajjar/Chief trader, Sada Shiv. As a result, the Company currency from Calcutta was made common currency in Chochrah. There were three other clauses in the agreement with the Dutch, which were all accepted by them, including the removal of their check post.
