of Original Document:
To—The ever Faithful, Ranjit Singh, Chief of Jasalmir. Consider yourself receiving the Royal favour and know! That the Chief, Chamman Singh, brother of the Ruler of Jaipur, having obtained the honour of admittance to our august presence, through the adviser of the State, the honoured of the country, the special slave, Muhammad Bakht Khan, Lord Governor General Bahadur, Director of all matters Military and Civil, has declared and affirmed that you, emblem of fidelity, cherish an anxious desire and wish to come to the Royal presence, and only delay doing so, pending the issue of a special order : you are therefore honoured with this address. It is clear to our belief that throughout your dominions, the name or trace of those ill-omened infidels, the English, must not have remained; if, however, by any chance or possibility some have escaped till now, by keeping hidden and concealed, first slay them, and after that, having made arrangements for the administration of your territory, present yourself at our Court, with your whole Military following. Considerations and friendliness a thousandfuld will be bestowed on you slave, and you will be distinguished by elevation to dignities and places which the compass of your qualifications will not have capacity to contain. Be assured of our kindness.
