and coral, and the other coral alone, which in the abondance of yoar kindness
and favour you sent as a gift to me, arrived in a happy hour, and was
the cause of much satisfaction,
And regarchng your refusal to receive the value of the nine strings of pearls,
and of the two chaplets of coral, directing, an the contrary, that they should
be presented as a gift; as the pearls are of great beauty and of exceeding
high price, and forasmuch as your friendship to Maha Gooroo was evident
and apparent, in consideration of these things, I could not presume to
take them.
I formerly wrote to you, requesting that, with the value of unwrought gold
which I sént to you, certain, pearls and coral might be purchased, and that
the price of the pearls, and the coral, might be balanced by the produce
thereof; and if it should be deficient for that purpose, that you would
inform, me of that deficiency, so. that I might write to you, and transmit that
nddrb was wanting ; and if, on the contrary, there should be a surplus
remaining out of the value of tl» gold, that other pearls, and other coral, of
the first quality; might be purchased therewith.
And I have moreover strong hope, and firm expectation, that as you. formerly
shewed kindness and attention to the application respecting the village
of the Raja, 'so in regard to the certain portion of land, and .the mahsool
thereon, that favour will be shewn. I presume to repeat the request, that
corresponding to the application of Maha Gooroo, you will shew kindness
Mid favour with respect to that portion of land, and in settling the disputes
appertaining thereto; and furthermore, thatyou will grant a lot of land in the
noble city of Calcutta, on the bank of the river. Concerning this aflair I
have spoken folly and particularly to the Gosein, Poorungheer, and he will
male known to you the whole thereof, and you will comply with my request.
And I have communicated other matters, and other things, to the faithful
Poorungheer, by. whom you will be informed of them. In compliance with
his wishes, you will permit him to remain under the shadow of your protection,
and favour him with such marks of your kindness, as may enable
him to pass his days in returning thanks for your goodness.
