Received your letter informing that although Maharajah Rajah Shitab Rai was an intelligent and serious person he was mismanaging his state and that I should go there for two months and sort out the problems. Maharajah Shitab Rai is no doubt unequal in intelligence, understanding and seriousness but he leaves the management of his state to his advisers. Therefore, he himself is not to be blamed. I am prepared to follow your instructions and do what you have asked me to do. How the affairs of the state were put right last year is very well-known to you when you had called me and Mr Sykes [?] to perform this task. But this year, in my view, it is not necessary to send two people to perform this task. Whatever you decide, I will be glad to follow your instructions
