Eitem CR9/18/6 - Letter from Rajah Shitab Rae to Clive.

Thank you for your letter received here on the 28th of Jamadi al-Avval asking me to send Rajah Dhiraj Narayan to you. I had earlier informed you that because the festival of Diwali is approaching Rajah Dhiraj Narayan wanted to delay his departure until the 1st of Jamadi al-Sani, San 8. Since then I have reminded him daily about his commitment and it is only yesterday, on Sunday the 5th of this month, that he came to inform me that he had to go to the Hindu ritual baths/ashnan for a few days and without any further delay would depart for Murshidabad on the 15th of this month. I hope he keeps his words otherwise I will make sure that he takes the route to Murshidabad on that date.
