This evening our Mauldar [manager] returned from the Nabobs Camp [i.e., Zu,lfiqar Khan's] ; He brings no answer from Amer John to the Presidts. letter, nor from the Nabob ; but a curtious letter from Abdall Labby ['Abd-un-nabi], who writes that he has represented Selimon Cawns base dealings to Zulfauker Cawn, and that we must make our application to the Nabob, that if we had done it sooner it might have prevented this vastly great loss. Amer John told our Mauldar, that if we had killed Selimon Cawn in his base attempt upon us, Zulfauker would have been well pleased, and that an order was ready to be delivered him, requireing Collebeague not to give us any disturbance, but the same was not chopt [stamped with his seal], because Uttum-Chund had not received what he expected ; and our Spye Braminy writes that Amer John told him we should upon no account give anything to Selimon, for it would be displeasing to Zulfauker, who would take care of our business more effectually when application was only made to himself ; And Uttum Chund says, that Rama Rajah's papers being in his custody, he observes the English gave much money to him for Tevenapatnam, &ca. but would give none to Zulfauker Cawn. Ebrahim Cawn Gurrys Egip [interpreter] and our Braminy went to their Camp, but did not return.
