Scope and content
After taking your leave I reached Benares. Some of your messengers who had come this way to look for Mir Zain al-Abidin had informed that he was staying in Benares so that he could prevent me, Sukha Ram Pandit, to come and see you. Although I had sent him a message asking him not to travel as the roads were not safe and elephant and horses belonging to Odepuri Gosain, who was travelling in this area, were taken away from him by Raja Ajit Singh. However, the aforesaid Mir did not believe this and moved on. Meanwhile, I went to the river bank/Ghat and heard that Raja Vije Singh of Maulaganj had confiscated all belongings of Mir and had asked him to pay five thousand rupees if he wanted them back. He, with great difficulty, managed to provide only one thousand rupees and a horse. Later, two guards belonging to Raja Ajit Singh came there and took him into custody. We do not know what happened next and on what terms he was released. From here he is now travelling via Allahabad and will soon come to see you.
