Letter from Siraj al-Dawlah to Admiral Watson,

Content does not match translation no. 65 in CR8/1 dated 8 March 1757. However, this letter, which mentions the affairs of Manikchand, Durlabhram, Mansaram and the East India Company in Calcutta, may be that referred to in no. 68 in CR8/1.

Letter from Kishn Chand Raghu Ram,$f1758, August 13 /$cKishn Chand Raghu Ram.

I have received a demand for the payment of wages of the East India Company for the past two years, which according to past calculations comes to three years. As you are very well aware of my circumstances and the maximum amount of revenue I am capable of raising I would appreciate if you could appoint someone to investigate this matter so that we could reach a just solution. -- Another, contemporary translation is CC2/2, entry no. 55.

Letter from Nandakumara,

Janab-i Ali Mutaali [the Nawab] left Calcutta on 20 Dhu al-Hijjah and on twenty-first when three and half ghari of the day remained he entered the fort of Hoogli. On the 22nd he embarked on a boat and went towards Mursidabad. On the same day when six ghari of the day had passed he asked Amir Beg Khan and myself to join the forces of Rajah Ram Singh at the cantonment of Madnipore and Jalesar. The document of travel was affixed with an official stamp by the staff of Muhammad Hadi Khan. I will bring this document when I come to see you. I pray that Rajah Ram Singh may prosper under you as he regards his commitment to the services of the Company above everything else.

Nandakumara, Maharaja.
