LETTER CCCXC.
To RÂJAH RÂM CHUNDUR; dated 4th HYDERY. (1st November.)

WHAT you have represented, regarding the flight of the Ryots belong­ing to the district of Great Balapoor, on account of the increase of six or seven thousand pagodas produced in the revenue, in consequence of our having fixed the exchange of the royal pagoda* at twelve Cantarai fanams, together with the excuse which you have offered for the Ryots on the occasion,* is understood. Where is the hardship or difficulty in a Ryot [or renter, having] to pay an additional fanam or two upon his rent, which is the most that can fall upon the individual, when the tax [complained of] is divided among the whole?
