(_May 19th_) On the eve of Thursday (_11th_) that retainer of Khalīfa's, Ghulām-i-`alī by name, who in company with a retainer of the Shāh-zāda of Mungīr named Abū'l-fatḥ,[2635] had gone earlier than Ismā`īl Mītā, to convey those three articles (_faṣl soz_), now returned, again in company with Abū'l-fatḥ, bringing letters for Khalīfa written by the Shāh-zāda and by Ḥusain Khān _Laskar_(?) _Wazīr_, who, in these letters, gave assent to those three conditions, took upon themselves to act for Naṣrat Shāh and interjected a word for peace. As the object of this campaign was to put down the rebel Afghāns of whom some had taken their heads and gone off, some had come in submissive and accepting my service, and the remaining few were in the hands of the Bengalī [Sidenote: Fol. 376.] (Naṣrat Shāh) who had taken them in charge, and as, moreover, the Rains were near, we in our turn wrote and despatched words for peace on the conditions mentioned. (_ggg_. _Submissions and guerdon._) (_May 21st_) On Saturday (_13th_) Ismā`īl _Jālwānī_, `Alāūl Khān _Nūḥānī_, Auliya Khān _Ashrāqī_(?) and 5 and 6 amīrs came in and waited on me. Today guerdon was bestowed on Aīsān-tīmūr Sl. and Tūkhta-būghā Sl., of swords and daggers with belts, cuirasses, dresses of honour, and _tīpūchāq_ horses; also they were made to kneel, Aīsān-tīmūr Sl. for the grant of 36 _laks_ from the Nārnūl _pargana_, Tūkhta-bughā Sl. for 30 _laks_ from that of Shamsābād.
