LETTER XVI.

Exalted son, you have requested me to give a ‘Máhi-i-Maráteb’* to Nasrat Jang*. Though it is not a rule to give it to an inferior to a ‘Sesh-Hazári’*, I give it to him as he has accomplished your two important affairs and also to please you. He will get one of the ‘Máhi-i-Marátebs’ which have been brought (here), and thank (us) for this great gift which is above dignity.
