∗ "The Nawab has forborne to execute the Emperor's severe orders for extirpating the English in this country and demolishing their factories in Bengal. He had lately released the English captives and said, 'The late subahdar [Shaista Khan] wrote many stories against you [to the Emperor.]... You have many enemies, esp. the Dutch.'" [Letter from Bengal dated 25 Nov. 1689, recd. at Madras 23 Jan. 1690.]
