v1.c16.65.4

Officers should always be going about to see that everything is safe. Therefore it is, that I write to you in such detail. All the Jumledars, Havaldars and Karkuns should hear this letter being read to them and act up to it. We shall keep ourselves informed frequently, nay every day, and punish those who disobey. Whosoever behaves in contravention of this order will be severely punished and dishonoured.”¹²
