Perhaps you may remember the day I came to see you with my son and that you informed me that you were considering arranging for a honourable discharge for me from my services. I am grateful for your kindness. Meanwhile, at this time of the harvest the situation in the country is getting worse and because of the extortion and mismanagement of the tahsildar most of the cultivators are running away and the remaining inhabitants are complaining. Although I do not consider this a very pleasant duty it is essential that I inform you about the mismanagement of the company's tahsiladar. I do not wish to ask anything more than my pension to support my dependants. As I am not keeping very well I wish to go away from this place for a change of air. I would be grateful if you could issue orders for my pension to be paid.

On the night of the 8th of Safar a middle-aged men clad in a blanket came here and stopped at the mausoleum of a faqir next to the Sarae Mo. He has put up his bed there and claims that he is the son of Rafi al-Darajat and Nuh/son-in-law of Emperor Bahadur Shah. I went to investigate this in the morning and found out that he claimed that he had escaped from Delhi Fort to Hyderabad and came here to gather support and conquer the country. I intend to take him into custody but will wait until I have completed my investigation.

Much of the correspondence relates to Anglo- French- Indian relations, wars, rebellions and infighting between Indian rulers and to the collection of revenues for the East India Company.

I am very pleased to have received your letter along with fifteen prisoners who by using your counterfeit signatures were carrying out robberies and destruction in the neighbourhood. This will bring an end to their misdeeds and prevent your name to be maligned by people. I will make sure that they get appropriate punishment so that they may deter others not to follow their path.
Mir Jafar, Nawab of Bengal.
