of Original Document:
To—The King Shelter of the World
Your Majesty :—This slave is a land-holder of Farridabad, and is a Silvermith by caste. The matter he has to submit is that 50,000 rupees, more or less, belonging to the Government of the East India Company, are now present in the subordinate Revenue Office at Palwal. Some of the Ballabhgarh Rajah’s Officials went there, but the land-holders of the place would not allow them to take the money. Your slave, therefore, prays that 100 Horsemen and 50 Infantry may be sent with him, that he may bring it away, and pay it into the Royal Treasury. Your zealous slave is exerting himself solely that he may obtain a subsistence. It was necessary, and is submitted. Further on perusal of this petition let orders be issued, and, with the Cavalry and Infantry, let a means of conveyance for your slave be also bestowed. Petition of Bhutia, land-holder of Farridabad.
Autograph order by the King, in Pencil
Mirza Moghal will speak to the Officers of the Army, and
will immediately take steps to send for this Treasure.
