On the same date another letter was written to *Ḍāk Munshi* Abdus-Ṣubhān, the brother of Ghulām Muṣṭafa and to Śivarām. A second letter to Ghulām Muṣṭafa states that the Governor has been informed that the ship-wrecked men have been taken to Katak.² On the 25th of January, 1762, a letter written to Sivarām states that Mr. John Bristow was dead and expresses satisfaction at the appointment of Daryā Khān as the the *Faujdār* of Balasore. In another letter of the same date the Dāk Munshī Ghulām Muṣṭafā Khān is directed to maintain friendly relations with Daryā Khān.¹ Daryā Khān wrote to the Governor after his arrival at Balasore to send an English factor to Balasore and wrote for a dastak for Bakshi Rāo Mūdī, servant of Rājah Jānujī who had come to Calcutta and wanted to proceed to Murshidabad. On the 22nd of February the Governor wrote to Daryā Khān stating that it was needless to station an English factor at Balasore but that a dastak would be given to Bakhshi Rāo and that he would be despatched in a sloop.² On the 2nd of March Śivarām wrote expecting that some arrangement would be made with his agent Dayārām. To this a reply was sent on the 4th stating that a reply had been sent through Ghulām Muṣṭafā Munshī.
