THE cause of writing this is, that whereas Shaikh Abdulla son of Reheemdad is appointed to the revenue business of the good and illustrious Nabob, I Kerimulla son of Shimsuddeen have spontaneously and voluntarily appeared as his Bondsman; that if he absent himself without the permis­sion of the Nabob’s agents, I shall cause him to appear: and if I do not, that I shall be responsible according to my engage­ment. These few lines I have written by way of Certificate, that if there be any occasion there may be proof. Written on the 12th of the Month Saffir, which may God terminate in happiness and prosperity, in the Year 1190.
