Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, Rabi` II 4 received: September 10 received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 16 Thank you very much for your letter of 25 Dhu al-Hijjah informing that Nizam Ali Khan was having some useless designs and that a comparatively small English force was able to defeat a huge army of Shuja al-Daulah’s together with those of the Rohilla sardars, Gosain, Mir Qasim Ali and Durrani. You have also informed that Nawab Nasir Jang has lost his life and his state at the hands of the French who did not have ability to face the English army. Moreover, that Nizam Ali Khan will have to face nothing but disgrace. As I am away at Chinapatam for the past eight months and have been worrying about my affairs, I was pleased to have received your kind letter. I was also very pleased to read your assurances that you will never abandon me and would honour our friendship while you live and that while you are in this country you will always consider my honour as your own and will endeavour to protect and safeguard it from my enemies I was also pleased to know from your letter that His Majesty has moved into Allahabad fort and that Raghunath Rao with his large army was going around on a rampage but being afraid of the English army he did not dare to cross the river Jumna. In your letter you have also informed me about the deaths of Malhar Holkar and the Nawab of Bengal, Najm al-Daulah and the appointment of his younger brother, Saif al-Daulah as the next Nawab of Bengal. You have also informed me that you have gone to Azimabad to strengthen relations between Shuja al-Daulah, the Rohillas and Javahir Singh Jat. It is a great credit to the English Company that after the demise of Mir Jafar Khan they installed his eldest son as the governor of Bengal and after his death his second son. I was very grateful to learn from you letter that when you go to see His Majesty next you will present my petition to him, or otherwise you will send one of your trusted men to do the same. You will try your best that I receive the appropriate honours and titles from His Majesty. I have fully understood what you have written regarding the cases of Sadr al-Islam, zamindar of Tajavar, and Haidar Naik. I hope that before you leave for England you will convince the His Majesty not to issue any firman to Haidar Naik, Tajavar Valah and others. Just after writing this letter, while I was going to affix my seal, I received a firman from His Majesty bestowing great honours and titles on me. As a small gesture of my gratitude I am enclosing a nuzr of one thousand and one ashrafis
Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, Rabi` II 10 received: September 16 (Persian) / 17 (English) received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 1 Thank you very much for your letter acknowledging the receipt of three statements of accounts regarding the revenue of the province Bihar I had sent. I am glad to know that you have read my statement regarding the departure of Sukha Ram Naik, vakil of Rajah Januji Bhonsalah. As the Maharajah Sahib has not received a reply to the letter he sent to you he thinks that perhaps you do not wish to reply. As I was coming to see you shortly, he has requested me to enquire from you. I will be grateful if you could send a short reply to the above letter so that I can satisfy the enquiry of the aforesaid vakil and he can return to the Maharajah Sahib with this reply Enclosure 1: Copy letter to Rajah Januji Bhonslah. Thank you for your letter delivered to me by Sukha Ram Naik. We are sending Mir Zain al-Abidin Khan with letters from Lord Clive and Nawab Najm al-Daulah Bahadur and to discuss some important issues with you. The aforesaid Naik has also left to return to you and to report about the letters and the departure of the Mir Enclosure 2: Copy letter from Divan Devaji Pandit.

He will be able to explain the details to you personally when he arrives there Enclosure 3: I had received an intelligence report about the King Emperor sent by Naib Rao Rangun Singh Harkara. This is enclosed for your information Enclosure 4: I have come to know from reports coming from the west that Rao Raghunath Singh is intending to wage war against Javahir Singh Jat.

Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, RabiII 12 received: September 18 (Persian) / 22 (English) received Envelope numbered B No. 26 I was planning to go to Murshidabad on 2nd of Rabi II but then I received your letter asking me to bring the treasury of Bihar. I have been able to collect four Lac rupees so far which I will bring with me to Murshidabad on Friday, 6 Rabi` II
Thank you for your letter received on 28 RabiI, reg. yr. 7 [3September 1766] informing that you have received instructions from the directors of the East India Company in England forbidding all Englishmen from engaging in any business other than that of the goods received or taken out by the English ships. They should not undertake any business of import or export to neighbouring states or countries. These instructions are beneficial to the local population and in the interest of the Company. I hope you will instruct your harkarahs to circulate these orders to all concerned As far as the payment of instalments is concerned, the total amount due for salaries of Company soldiers by the end of 1173 will be nearly eight Lac rupees. When you came here Nawab Shams al-Daulah had paid six Lac rupees as payment of salaries for two months. The company had made a demand for a further four Lac rupees from Rabi II. From 15 Rabi` II, [20 September 176]), a further sum of two Lac rupees will be due for payment. Payment for the salaries of administrative staff, which is paid in every three months, will amount to nearly one Lac rupees by the end of this year. In this way the total amount paid by the end of this year will be just over nine Lac rupees. A bank draft for the above amounts will be forthcoming on the due dates and after deducting payments for salaries of local staff I will send the rest to you promptly Enclosure: Not translated
Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, RabiI 30 received: September 5 received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 7 I arrived at Madnipore on 24 Rabi I and will be coming to see you soon
Date(s) from item: September 6 received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 12 Thank you very much for your letter advising me that I should include the district of Colonel Ganj under my administration and carry out the administration of the opium trade properly and efficiently. I should try to buy whatever quantity is needed for the Company and not allow the French, the Dutch or any mahajans to participate in this trade Acting on your advice I have included the district of Karnailganj in my administration. As far as the trade of opium is concerned the officials who curtail the illegal trade of opium do not make a distinction between opium traders, mahajans and the common people. Since your gumashtahs have monopolized the purchase of opium, all other traders have ceased to trade and zamindars have ceased cultivating opium. It is therefore requested that you order them to make a distinction between the mahajans and genuine traders so that zamindars could also resume the cultivation of opium. It is therefore recommended that you appoint agents for the purchase of opium and they purchase whatever the Company requires and the rest is sold to the Dutch, the French and the mahajans. This will increase the trade and ultimately increase our tax revenue as well
Date(s) from item: RabiII 4 received: September 10 received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 17 I am writing to inform you that Nawab Intizam al-Daulah, Mr Saiks [Francis Sykes] has kindly bestowed on me the administration of Chaklah Akbarabad. I was honoured with a Khillat on the 27 Rabi I, reg. yr. 7. I am sending, under separate cover, a nazr for your honour Enclosure: Twelve thousand Ashrafi rupees [received as nazrana]
Date(s) from item: Reg. yr 7, RabiII 8 sent; Rabi II 17 received: September 23 received 1766 Envelope numbered B No. 28 I have already written to you a number of times. I hope you have read these letters by now. With God's help, Nawab Mubariz al-Mulk, Muin al-Daulah Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang has been able to settle the accounts for 1173. Whatever amount is left will be sent in the near future. I have made all efforts to collect the money owed to the government. Nawab Mubariz al-Mulk is at present finalising the collection of 1174 revenues
