LETTER CVII.
To MOHYÛDDEEN ALI KHÂN; dated 20th HÂSHIMY. (31st August.)

[AFTER some minute directions, respecting the fabric of Bubry cloths for the use of the troops (patterns of the kinds required being enclosed)* the letter proceeds thus:]—

It has been reported to us, that you sit constantly at home, without ever appearing at the Kuchurry. This is not well. You must pass [a proper portion of] your time [daily] in the Kuchurry, and there diligently apply to the affairs of the Sircar, without suffering any one to come to you at your own house [on public business]. It would appear, that you never look into the [written] instructions which you received from us. If you act in conformity with our orders, it will be well: otherwise, you will assuredly incur the penalty therein specified.*
