On 29th June 1789 Lord Cornwallis writes to Malet, " You may inform the Minister that I have with the utmost readiness and pleasure given directions to our Resident at Benares to receive Nana Phadnis' Diwan with the greatest personal civility and to give him every degree of assistance he can desire, to enable him to build a house at that city. You may assure Nana, should he execute his intention of visiting Benares, that I shall take effectual measures to secure for him all those marks of attention and respect to which he has a claim from his rank and dignity in the Maratha State, as well as from the consideration and high esteem which I have for his personal character." (P. R. C. Vol. II, p. 148).
