of Original Document:
To—The King! Adoratien of the World
I have this day received certain information that near 2,000 Troops, who have revolted from the British, and are now coming from Nasirabad, are encampted at Garhi Harsaru to-day, and will be here to-morrow. There are no means for arranging for the usual supplies at this place. I hope, there fore, that some Officer or Troopers will be deputed by Your Majesty on this duty. (Prayers for the King’s prosperity.) A further petition is, that your petitioner had no previous knowledge of the approach of these Troops, or he might have made arrangements in anticipation. The information brought to-day was quite unexpected. May it be suggested that such orders should now be issued as can be carried out. Petition of the slave Zabtay Khan, attached to the Police Station of Basant. No order on the petition. NOTE ON THE REVERSE—‘‘Orders have been issued, 16th June 1857”.
