Thank you for your letter asking me to investigate the whereabouts of a vagabond who has stolen belongings of a Captain and run away. Before receiving your letter I had received no information regarding this robbery. From the time I left your company and until today I have not been to Daudnagar but have stayed in Bhojpur alone. I have been employed here by the Maharaja. As far as I can judge, the vagabond must have come from outside. If he were a local man he would have been caught by now. We have no idea where he is now. I am a faithful servant of the company and the moment I receive any information I will let you know

Thank you very much for your letter. In order to help me to safeguard the interests of the Company, you and the Mahrajah Bahadur have kindly posted a force of six hundred armed / barqandaz tilangas under the command of Mr Kings / Cook. As the interest of my people and those of the Company are the same we feel very much encouraged by your support. God willing we will be able to defeat the enemy soon. The enemy force which reached here was supported by the zamindars. They have come down from the valley they had captured from you with great pride and after crossing the jungle they have now established their defence lines with bushes of thorns. God willing and with your help we will soon be able to destroy them. We will be able to destroy them easily if they come out in the plains but if they retreat to the jungles behind we will have to go into the jungle to destroy them. In any way we will soon be able to send them all to Hell
