To—The King Shelter of the World
RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH,—That your slave’s Bullock Train, for passengers and parcels, had been long running between Delhi and Muttra. When the revolt of the Troops occurred all his arrangements were deranged, and one of his wagons, which had been coming from Muttra, remained at the Arab Serai, in consequence of the disturbed state of the Country. The people in whose charge the wagon was left now decline being responsible for its safety, and importune your slave to have it brought away to Delhi. Your slave depends on Your Majesty’s kindness and consideration, therefore, to allow him the aid of a peon to have the wagon brought in safety from the Arab Serai, and your slave will ever pray for Your Majesty’s life and prosperity. It was necessary, and has there fore been submitted. (Prayers for the prosperity of the reign).
