The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c27.125

v1.c27.125

"And since I have also been told of the good conduct of the Nayak of Tanjaor (Tanjore) in my service during the aforesaid siege, I am sending by this mail a letter thanking him, entrusting you with the charge of forwarding it to him" 1. Unfortunately neither this letter nor a copy of it has hitherto reached our hands; we know only that it was sent to the Bishop of Mylapore, by whom it had to be dispatched to Tanjore: "The letter of Your Majesty to the Nayak of Tanjaor (Tanjore)", says the Viceroy in his answer to the King, "is being sent to the Bishop (of Mylapore), who will hand it over to him" 2.
