At that place a petition was received by the Emperor and a letter by the Nawab from Kasim 'Ali Khan, soliciting an interview, and requesting assistance, with promises of remuneration. Satisfactory replies were sent on the part of the Emperor and the Nawab. Kasim 'Ali Khan therefore left Benares, and when he arrived at the ghat of Bibipur, pitched his tents near the royal camp. - [Previous: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.6) - [Next: 7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.2) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.1) · Pramāṇa
