Item CR9/6/46. - Letter from Kora Chand Bose,$f[1757x1759], June 16 /$cKora Chand Bose.

I am writing a detailed account of my experience for your attention. I had come here to pay a visit to Thakur Sahib when I happened to meet the Nawab [Janab-i Ali]. He started questioning me about you again and again and I can hardly repeat some of the questions he asked me about you, particularly about the amount of nazur to be paid. He wanted to honour me with gifts for this but for some reason or other delayed the matter and on the advice of someone he cancelled all agreements he had made with me and moved on. When he had travelled three manzils he dismissed his wife and Miyan Amani from his company. Whatever agreements we had reached he replaced them with some other clauses and in this way destroyed what we had already agreed. -- I have already sent you a detailed report about my activities. He [the Nawab] has collected over one Karor rupees in cash and jewels out of which he wants to deposit only two or three Lacs with me for your use. Two of his men asked why he needed such an expenditure as he is carrying jewels worth twenty five Lacs and seventy Lacs in cash and kind and why I did not accompany them. It is because of this that I have decided to go with them. Please do let me know if you have any objection, as you are my master. Please also let me know if you are willing to receive the representatives of the Rohellas and Afghans and so that we could take control of their states without going to war against them. Nawab Shuja al-Daulah has asked for me a number of times but I have not been able to go see him.
