19.20.5
whenever I hear that the Grandees of your dominions have attached themselves to their duty, and act unanimously in your service, then there will be found places enough for your ancient Minister, and bread enough for your old servant. At present I wish for nothing but to see you both prosperous and happy." The Prince was then at Catoly. On receiving my forgiven father's letter, he ordered a throne to be erected, according to the usage of the House of Babr; and taking his seat upon it, he commenced his reign, under the titles of Shah-aalem-bahadyr, Emperor. He then sent the Vezir's casket to Shudjah-ed-doula, with a rich qhylaat; forwarded another to Nedjib-ed-doula; and appointed Munnir-ed-doula to go as his Embassador to the Court of the Abdaly Monarch; in a word, he made every disposition that had been pointed out to him by my father's letter ; and he was waiting for the divine assistance, when Cam-car-qhan, with five or six thousand horse, made his appearance, and had the happiness to kiss the footsteps of the Imperial throne. Dilir-qhan, and Assalet-qhan, his brother, arrived at the same time, at the head of a thousand horse and foot, and were received with marks of favour and distinction. Cam-car-qhan at the same time undertook to furnish the expense of the Imperial household ; and he soon found means to introduce plenty in camp.
