A few days have elapsed since I arrived at Goondah with the
Colonel Saib.
This is presented for your Highness's information. I cherish hopes from
your generosity, that, considering me in the light of one of your
servants, you will always continue to exalt and honor me with your
gracious letters.
May the sun of prosperity continually shine!
_Copy of a Letter to Mahomed Jewar Ali Khan and Behar Ali Khan, from Mr.
Gordon._
Sirs, my indulgent friends,
Remain under, &c., &c.
After compliments. I have the pleasure to acquaint you that yesterday
having taken leave of you, I passed the night at Noorgunge, and next
morning, about ten or eleven o'clock, through your favor and
benevolence, arrived safe at Goondah. Mir Aboo Buksh, zemindar, and Mir
Rustum Ali, accompanied me.
To what extent can I prolong the praises of you, my beneficent friends?
May the Supreme Being, for this benign, compassionate, humane action,
have you in His keeping, and increase your prosperity, and speedily
grant me the pleasure of an interview! Until which time continue to
favor me with friendly letters, and oblige me by any commands in my
power to execute.
