Scope and content

Thank your for your letter of 25 Muharram complaining that you have not received any reply to your last two letters. The Nawab Sahib, before leaving for Calcutta, had given all -- The testimonials, which Nawab Wazir had sent more than a month ago with his letter, did not carry his official seal. Moreover, these documents did not have your full titles and honors listed. These were, therefore, returned for amendments and corrections. We received the corrected documents and testimonials from the Nawab Wazir through Jagat Seths on 10 Safar, reg.yr. 5. Knowing very well the Nawab's concern for these documents I am holding these until his returns. It is essential that we keep all correspondence relating to this affair very secret and letters are sent in secure bags and by trusted messengers. Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/4, entry no.144.
