Scope and content
aAfter taking your leave and a long journey I took a boat for Baktarn[?] and from there I departed on Wednesday, 15th Dhu al-Hijjah, reg.yr. 5. As it was raining heavily I was delayed reaching the city and reached Murshidabad when one and four ghari of the day remained. I presented myself at the court of Nawab Nasir al-Mulk Bahadur and made a request to see the Nawab. Now I am waiting for the appointment to see the Nawab. -- Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/1, entry no. 70.
