New History of the Marathas v2.c24.86

v2.c24.86

"We have had no news for some time about your movements and plans. As regards our situation here, we have already communicated to you in detail the rebellious activities of our cousin of Kolhapur incited thereto by Nizam-ul-mulk. Thus the short-sightedness of the one and the treachery of the other, have now combined to our detriment : but we are by no means daunted by this development : our only fear is how you can counteract these intrigues from the distance that you are now at ; but we are perfectly easy and calm having full confidence in the incomparable prowess of a servant of your type. We have called together all the scattered troops posted in different stations and would feel greatly relieved if you can run up here immediately, leaving aside your ordinary engagements.”
