Eitem CR9/10/28. - Letter from Tilok Chand,

I have received the schedules from the two Nawabs and subsequently I have submitted details of my previous and present accounts to Mr Hastings and the other Nawab Sahib. He has now collected all revenues and reached Anbuh on the 10th of Bhadun. Because of the illness of my grandmother I had to delay my arrival there. I therefore sent Divan Ramchand and his assistants to Burdwan to arrange for the payments of wages of the soldiers and write to me. However, Rajah Rajbalab Sahib did not have the fifty thousand rupees he was required to pay. He has referred the matter to Murshidabad saying that he used to pay two Lac rupees to the two persons every year. The two officials have also written their statements and have sent them to Murshidabad. I am sending my vakil, Kishn Gobind, to explain the details to you. -- Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/2, entry no. 77.
