of Original Document:
To—The King ! Shelter of the World !
RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH,—That owing to the suspension of all remittances to and from the Country, there is at present a great scarcity of money, and unless a mint for coinage is set in operation, it will soon not be procurable. We, therefore, pray that your Divine Majesty’s order may be issued, that we slaves, making all necessary arrangements connected with the measure, may have the operations of coinage commenced. We therefore submit enclosed herein, a petition from a person offering to contract for the mint, and from Your Majesty’s kindness and favour, we expect that this tender of contract will be accepted. It was necessary, and we have therefore submitted it. (Prayers for the prosperity of the reign). Petition of the slaves, Mirza Muhammad Zohur-ud-din, and Mirza Muhammad Khair Sultan.
