1767.—“Our final sentiments are that we have no occasion to take any measures against the Afghans’ King if it should appear he comes only to raise contributions, but if he proceeds to the eastward of Delhi to make an attack on your allies, or threatens the peace of Bengal, you will concert such measures with Sujah Dowla as may appear best adapted for your mutual defence.” -*Court’s Letter, Nov. 20. In Long, 486; also see ROHILLA.*
