I have written to you three or four letters in the past but did not receive any reply. My state and agricultural lands have been ruined by the policies of the administrator of this area as well as by the coming and going of the [East India] Company army. I am in a very destitute condition and request you to intervene in this matter and rescue me from this situation.
