LETTER CCCXCI.
To MOHYÛDDEEN ALI KHÂN, DEWÂN of KURPAH; dated 7th
HYDERY. (4th November.)

YOUR letter, praying to be allowed the use of ten Bândârs [rocket-men] for the services of your house and gardens, has passed under our view. Bândârs are entertained for fighting, not for looking after houses and gardens. You must employ the Piâdehs stationed with you in the services you mention.
