and coral, and the other coral alone, which in the abundance of your kind¬ 
ness and favour you sent as a gift to me, arrived in a happy hour, and was 
the cause of much satisfaction, 
And regarding your refusal to receive the value of the nine strings of pearls, 
and of the two chaplets of coral, directing, on the contrary, that they should 
be presented as a gift; as the pearls are of great beauty and of exceeding 
high price, and forasmuch as your friendship to Maha Gooroo was evi¬ 
dent and apparent, in consideration of these things, I could not presume to 
take them. 
I formerly wrote to you, requesting that, with the value of unwrought gold 
which 1 sent to you, certain pearls and coral might be purchased, and that 
the price of the pearls, and the coral, might be balanced by the produce 
thereof; and if it should be deficient for that purpose, that you would 
inform me of that deficiency, so that I might write to you, and transmit that 
which was wanting; and if, on the contrary, there should be a surplus 
remaining out of the value of the gold, that other pearls, and other coral, of 
the first quality, might be purchased therewith. 
And I have moreover strong hope, and firm expectation, that as you for¬ 
merly shewed kindness and attention to the application respecting the village 
of the Raja, so in regard to the certain portion of land, and the mahsool 
thereon, that favour will be shewn. I presume to repeat the request, that 
corresponding to the application of Maha Gooroo, you will shew kindness 
and favour with respect to that portion of land, and in settling the disputes 
appertaining thereto ; and furthermore, that you will grant a lot of land in the 
noble city of Calcutta, on the bank of the river. Concerning this affair 1 
have spoken fully and particularly to the Gosein, Poorungheer, and he will 
make known to you the whole thereof, and you will comply with my request. 
And I have communicated other matters, and other things, to the faithful 
Poorungheer, by whom you will be informed of them. In compliance with 
his wishes, you will permit him to remain under the shadow of your pro¬ 
tection, and favour him with such marks of your kindness, as may enable 
him to pass his days in retaining thanks for )our goodness.
