of Original Document:
To—The King ! Shelter of the World !
RESPECIFFULLY SHEWETH !—That the servants of Your Majesty who came from Hansi and Hissar, and who have been placed under your slave, have not received their pay for two months and twenty days. As the treasuries of Sirsa, Hissar, Hansi, and other places, were, with great care and zeal, brought by them, and lodged in the Royal Treasury, and here too, accompanying your slave in every enyagement, three or four of these servants daily certify their fidelity with their lives, they therefore now demand their pay. Your slave, actuated by zeal, has arranged that Your Majesty will now grant one month’s pay out of the two months and twenty days’ arreais which are due, he will satisfy the men. If, on the other hand, no pay whatever is now granted, the force will have cause to be disheartened. It is strange that all the rest of the Army should have been paid. [ tcansmit enclosed in this petition, an abstract for one month’s pay for all the men of the force, in expectation that orders may be tssued. It was necessary and has been represented. (Prayers for the prosperity of the reign). Petition of the special slave, Muhammad Azim, door-keeper (may his sins be forgiven )
