To—The King Shelter of the World
RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH,—That a body of the Soldiery have established their residence immediately in the front of our shops, and we slaves are unable to open them in consequence. We pray, therefore, that in conformity with justice, orders may be issued to the Officers of the State, for the removal of these Soldiers from their present locality, or that, otherwise, the goods in the shops may be made over to us, in the presence of the servants of your Majesty’s Government. (Prayers for the prosperity of the reign). Petition of the slaves, the shopkeepers of the Chatta.
Autograph order by the King, in Pencil
Mirza Moghal will have their shops given to these shop- keepers.
