Scope and content

The last time Munir al-Daulah came to see me from Calcutta he, without my consent and unnecessarily, dismissed seven thousand five hundred horsemen and eleven thousand foot soldiers from my army. This time again he is coming to us from Azimabad after agreeing with Shuja al-Daulah he intends to disband half of our forces. His actions are extremely annoying to us and I regard them as gross interference in the affairs of my state. As he does not pay any attention to what I say to him but listens to and acts on your advice I therefore ask my favourite servant that you send him an urgent shuqqa asking him to take his hands off these annoying activities and leave the remaining army intact. If he does not act on your advice I suggest that you write a letter in English to Captain Dokaral? asking him not to obey any orders of Munir al-Daulah.
