Scope and content
I reached here before receiving your letter and found that the unfortunate French were getting ready to flee from here. I rounded them up and now wish to send them to you. As this is the time of Dusehra festival therefore there will be a delay in departing from here. I am sending a party of eight through Murshidabad as the passage through Burdwan falls under the influence of unsympathetic zamindars. There is no doubt that the behaviour of Siraj al-Daulah towards you has been cruel and unjust.
