Forty boats loaded with sherbet have recently arrived here but by mistake they went back without delivering their cargoes. As this sherbet is required here I would appreciate if they are asked to return. In addition, we would like to have two hundred maunds of candles for our use during the month of Muharram.

Thank you very much for your letter along with your instructions. Soon after receiving your letter I instructed my kitchen staff to prepare a meal following your instructions and to serve it at exactly two pas. I would like to assure you not to worry about the arrangements. Following your orders I have sent the following three items to the Nawab, -- 1. A reply to his letter. -- 2. News that Nawab Sabitjang Bahadur wishes to pay him a visit. -- 3. News that the army, which had arrived by way of Dini[?], has now left.

I am writing to inform you that we are all well and that I am looking forward receiving good news of your welfare and good health. I hope my earlier letters have reached safely.

Maharajah Rajah Januji Bhonsla has asked me to deliver some of his letters to you. For this purpose I have now reached Katak on the 29th of Zi al-Hajj. Prior to this my son Gopal Puri had written to you about my mission. I hope to be with you soon. Meanwhile, Mr Allen Sahib of Katak Kothi may have also sent you some information about me.

I received your letter informing me that you had reached Muradbagh on the 9th of Ramazan and came to know that Navab Nasir al-Mulk was annoyed with Maharajah Dulabha Ram. You managed to resolve this issue after negotiating between the two and that you have called Jagat Seths to assist you in the court case of Genda? Mall. When I reached Murshidabad I came to know from my servants that you were unhappy about my performance and that until I perform my duties properly you would not be happy with me. Please rest assured that I am a devoted servant of the company and that I am extremely happy that you have now entered Murshidabad. Maharajah Dulabha Ram is a very sincere well-wisher of yours and I am glad that the misunderstanding between him and Nasir al-Mulk have been removed. As far as the case of Genda [?] Mall is concerned it was not appropriate that a person of your status should involve himself in such minor affairs. However, whatever you have decided must be proper.

Thank you for your letter informing me that this is the season for ships to depart and asking me why the company ships have not left as yet and that I should make sure that they depart immediately and if I do not follow this order I should explain the reasons not for doing so. -- -- I am very surprised to read the contents of this letter as until now the rulers have never bothered to know anything about this matter. We people know better when these ships should depart and have always sent these ships when we thought it was the right time for them to go.

I am pleased to have received the news that you are well. I hope you will remember me during your acts of generosity and kindness.

Thank you very much for your letter. Whatever you say about the court case is correct but my ...[sic].

I have pleasure in sending you a piece of special cloth manufactured in our factory at Jahangirnagar along with some sweets and perfumes as a gift. Please let me know if you like the cloth so that, if required, I can send you some more.

The volume gives details of Clive's accounts with Thomas Amphlett (his cousin) and William Fullerton (the family doctor) for the last year, 1759-1760, of his first period of office as governor of Bengal. They range from the payment and receipt of Clive's card debts, to his salary as governor, and the Company's allowances for his table expenses and for ‘three Publick Entertainments, viz. Gen Kings Birthday Christmas day and new years day" [1758-9]. Extent: 11 ff. Outsize vol.

The volume contains mainly personal accounts ranging from Clive's jagir to his investments in ships. It also includes two loose accounts, the one relating to the sale by auction of Clive's goods at Calcutta, 20 Feb 1760 (the day before he sailed for England), the other, dated 5 Oct. 1760, concerning the sale, between February and September 1760, of his jewellery.

Official papers which, although not extensive, reflect Clive’s involvement in the civil administration of Bengal. They include papers relating to revenue collection, population statistics, currency reform and trade. They derive, for the most part, from Clive’s two periods as governor of Bengal, 1758-1760 and 1765-1767, but relate almost exclusively to the latter.

Miscellaneous military papers, [1750s]-1771.

Contains a loose leaf enclosure giving details of ‘Staff to Infantry’.

A copy of the appointment, 2 May 1766, of Anthony Polier as a major on the Bengal establishment, a note of the proposed appointment, [post March 1769], on Clive’s recommendation, of Robert Wilson as a surgeon, and copies of minutes and the general letter of the Court of Directors, 10 April 1771, concerning the restoration of Sir Robert Fletcher to the service and ‘the late Appointment of Mr [John] Petrie’.

Records of the Calcutta council and its committees, 1757-1768, and of the mayor' s court (one of its courts of justice), [c. 1765]-1766, dating from Clive' s first and second periods as governor of Bengal (1758-1760 and 1765-1767) although his first term is only very sparsely represented. The papers for 1768 refer to matters that occupied Clive before he resigned office in 1767.

Includes an inaugural letter of Clive stating his objectives for the committee, orders for the recall of ‘Free Merchants’ and ‘Europeans not immediately in the Company’s Service’ who are residing ‘up the Country’, letters received from and despatched to General Carnac and others concerning military and financial matters and the establishment of peace, depositions and a letter (translated from Persian) relating to the presents received by various councillors from the Nawab.
