Eitem CR9/18/17 - Letter from Mubariz al-Mulk Bahadur to Clive.

Please let me know the quantity of timber you require and ask the chief accountant to send me the money accordingly. Meanwhile, I have written to the administrators of the relevant district to supply twelve thousands pieces of timber. -- Enclosure: [Gold-sprinkled]. -- Whatever timber is required I am trying to arrange for its delivery; however, I do not have enough boats to carry this load to Calcutta. I have written to various amils to provide fifty large ships and sixty or seventy small boats to carry this load but so far I have not been able to get enough boats to carry the required amount of timber. This may result in some delay in the supply of this timber.
