LETTER CCCXLVII.
To BÛRHÂNÛDDEEN; dated 18th HÂSHIMY. (19th August.)

YOU must not be in a hurry to give battle; but if the enemy should advance upon your army, you must chastise them effectually.* Our special retinue will shortly cross the Tungbuddra, and arrive at that place [i. e. will join you]. Abdûl Ahmed Khân,* together with his family, must be taken into custody, and dispatched to Nugr.
