of Original Document:
To—Mirza Moghal.
Son,—The illustrious and valiant Mirza Muhammad Zahur-ud-din, otherwise Mirza Moghal Bahadur ! Learn! That six carts have been prepared to bring in Saltpetre, which is stored outside the City, as it is required for the manufacture of powder. You will, therefore, assign 25 men of the Regular Infantry to protect it on the road, so that the quantity required may be carefully conveyed to the Magazine, and you will also issue a written order to the Military Guard at the Lahore Gate not in any way to hinder the passage in and out of the carts employed in its conveyance.
