I had sent you a letter through the Peshkar but have not received any reply; I hope you have received this letter. We are all praying here day and night for your well-being. I was hoping that you would write to me when you arrived at Murshidabad but now we hear that you and the Nawab were going to Calcutta instead. I hope you will write to me from there. -- Earlier I had sent news reports from Shahjahanabad and from the court of Shuja al-Daulah. At present I have no further news about the army of Shuja al-Daulah. The latest news about him is that he has gone to Jaunpore to settle matters between Benares and Jaunpore. Rajah Balvind Singh has provided a bank draft of one Lac rupees and has promised to pay a further two Lacs. The Nawab, after leaving Jaunpore, marched towards the northeast to a place called Karakat, which is at a distance of seven Karohs from Jaunpore. From here, he is going to Ghazipore. He has refused to accept fifty thousand rupees which were brought in by the vakil of Navab Fazl Ali Khan. The Marhatta army, which had reached Lahore, is retuning to Shajahanabad. Their forward column has reached Sirhind and Navab Ghazi al-Din Khan, who did not agree with the Prince, is staying in the mansion of Ali Mardan Khan.
