To—The  King    Shelter  of  the  World  

    RESPECTFULLY  SHEWETH,—That  previously  to  this  I  have submitted  several petitions,  but  have  not  been  honoured  with a  reply  to  even  one.  I  now  again  submit  that  the  refractory inhabitants  of  the  village  of  Pali,  etc.,  have  taken  to  committing  highway  robbery  and  plunder  in  all  directions,  and  are grievously  oppressing  the  populace  and  subjects.  Although  I have  brought  the  said  village,  little  by  little,  into  some  order,  I cannot  nevertheless  without  Your  Majesty’s  orders,  presume  to act  with  confidence  in  any  matter.  1  am  engaged,  night  and day,  raising  new  Cavalry  and  Infantry  levies.  Besides  this,  my health  is  frequently  affected  by  the  adverse  state  of  the  weather. Setting  this  aside,  however,  I  shall  make  efficient  arrangements and  provision  against  all  the  refractory  and  rebellious characters  of  this  District;  and  will  then  present  myself  at  Your Majesty’s  Court.  I  have  sent  Kalandar  Khan,  Risaldar,  to  the Royal  presence,  with  some  Cavalry  and  Infantry,  agreeably to  your  Majesty’s  orders;  as  he  is  directed  so  he  will  aet. Petition  of  the  hereditary  slave,  Rajah  Nahar  Singh,  Chief  of Ballabhgarh.  Seal  of  Rajah  Nahar  Singh  Bahadur.
