[AFTER authorizing him to entertain in his service a Hindivy Mûnshy, the letter proceeds as follows]:—

It appears, that Kâlâ Pundit is attended by ten or twelve [armed] followers: let [therefore] a hundred men of the Uskur, armed with swords and shields, be sent [to his habitation or quarters], with instruc­tions to close in with the party, and, overpowering, seize on the whole. The aforesaid Pundit, together with his adherents, must then be dis­patched to the Presence, as before directed.

This letter is little more than a repetition of Letter CXX, addressed to the same person, and written only two days before. Such an early re-iteration of his orders on the subject, strongly marks the impatience of the Sultan to get posses­sion of his victim.
