| Abstract: |
The document is a letter from Nihā Giri addressed to Rāya Bhathi and Kubera Bhathi. In it, Nihā Giri urgently requests payment, explaining that he needs to settle a debt with a lender. He offers an alternative in case the full payment cannot be made in cash: coral can be sent instead.He mentions having previously sent bhurakhā (a type of shawl), Kochin (brocade) from Shigatse to one of the three brothers. However, something unexpected and unfortunate happened during that transaction—something he had not anticipated. Despite calculating the amounts carefully, Nihā Giri notes that he ended up sending 300 to 400 mohara extra to Buddhi Siṃ, who had visited Shigatse. However, he reassures the recipients not to worry about the extra amount that ended up with Gusahi. He also responds to an inquiry about the sale of two coral necklaces and clarifies that the money for the brocade shawl does not need to be repaid. Lastly, he mentions a Kashmir's shawl, though the details around it are brief. |
