Scope and content
I reached here on the 14th of Rabi al-Avval and found that Nasir al-Mulk Bahadur was ready to march towards Calcutta. When I asked him the purpose of his visit he replied that he was coming to see you. I am therefore warning you of his impending visit. I advised him that if he was coming to pay a courtesy visit he would be most welcome to do so hundreds of time but not if he was marching to admonish the Dutch. Earlier I had offered to negotiate between the two and had assured him that whatever was agreed would also be acceptable to you. In order to achieve this I came to Hoogli and after settling the affairs and after giving him a Khillat I had sent the details of our negotiations to Mr Hastings. I had also sent him the same information verbally. I am sure that he would have, by now, informed you about this. I am not sure in what way the Dutch have broken their pledges now that he has decided to march with his army. He has not informed me of any such acts by them. If he does not have the intention of conducting a war why is marching from Hoogli?
