A letter received from Sambhājī on the 30th stated clearly that Jānujī refused to rely on any treaty signed by the officers of the English Company. He wanted one signed and sealed by the King of England.² Jānujī had at last come to understand the real value of an Englishman's word in the 18th century remembering Clive's guarantee of the treaty of 1759-60 with Nawāb Mir Ja'afar Ali Khan.

Sambhājī refers to one Kriparām who had been sent to Calcutta by Mr. Alleyn of Katak.²
