It is my earnest hope that you may live long to enjoy these honours, 
and that you may follow the example of your excellent grandfather by 
discharging faithfully, as he did, the duties of your high position in 
every relation of life, as a leader of society, as the head of your family 
as a Zemindar and a loyal subject of Her Most Gracious Majesty 
Queen Victoria, the sovereign alike of Englishmen and of the natives 
of Hindoostan. 
I remain, my dear Sir, with best wishes, 
Yours very faithfully,

given to Maharaja Rajendro Protap Shahee, Raja of Hutwa, for emi¬ 
nent services rendered by him and his predecessor during the late dis¬ 
turbances, is considered by the Governor-General in Council to be well 
deserved.

villages in Shahabad, yielding a gross rental of 20,000 Rupees according
