Scope and Contents

An inscription in English on the back states that this letter of the Nawwāb (Mīr Ja'far of Bengal) to Lord Clive was given by the latter to a Mr. William Hanbury, who gave it to Mr. J. T. Samuell 1762 C.E. The substance of the letter, however, does not show that it was sent by the Nawwāb. The probability is that it was written by "Omi-chand" (whose proper name was Amīr-Chand), and contains an appeal from the banker for the payment of his claims.
