To-—-Mirza Moghal.
1. Treasurer,
2. Accountant with Mirza Mughal,
Son,—The illustrious and valiant Mirza Zohur-ud-din, otherwise Mirza Moghal Bahadur. Learn ! That by the representations of Samman Lal, we are informed, that in the first instance, sweetmeats were given as daily rations to the Artillerymen serving the Guns in the Gashmere and Baddarraw Gate Main Guard, and other Bastions through the agency of the Mu’azzazdowlat, Bahadur’, and that, subsequently, from the 11th June 1857, daily-money pryments have been made instead, as per separate list. That although the supply of rations, or the daily allowance of money instead, is a matter appertaining to the Military Department, in the above instances, the expense was defrayed from the Royal Treasury, and that under these circumstances he prays for an order under our Royal signature, to our illustrious Son, Mirza Moghal Bahadur, to the effect that he should cause re-imbursement to be made. You are directed to remit to Samman Lal the sum of 110 Rupees, agreeably to the statement furnished by him, the details of which are subjoined. You are further directed to make arrangements for the future payments of the daily allowance to the Artillerymen the same as those, according to which, they are paid to the whole of the Infantry Regiments. Be assured of our kindness—
