v1.c16.s8.22
On 30th May, the head clerk of the captive Rozāfzun Kh. brought to the Emperor a letter from Malhar making certain demands, which Rozafzun had strongly recommended as the only means of saving the capital from sack and the female captives from dishonour. Intizam gave bellicose counsel and said that he was ready to fight the Marathas, though his troops had mutinied and threatened to mob him only a few days before! The Emperor, therefore, asked for a day’s respite before giving a reply to Malhar.
