| Abstract: |
A letter from Kaṃca Puri to Gusāhi Rāja Bhātri Pramukha, Gusāhi Varivadhra Puri, and Gusāhi Maṃsā Grā (Giri). He writes instructing them to receive one pokā of gold from Padmarāja of Tuvakeva. The pokā contains Khāmasyara gold, totaling 150 tola, valued at 22 mohara per tola. The total value is 3,344 mohara. A seal is tied to the packet, and he asks them to confirm whether they have received it.
Kaṃca Puri also instructs Rāja Bhātri and Varivadhra Puri to take two shares of the money for themselves and one share for Maṃsā Grā (Giri). After receiving the yellow sapphire, coral, and the letter, they are asked to send 4 pāthi and 5 pāthi (items not specified, most likely coral and yellow sapphire), at a reasonable price. He advises not to rush in matters concerning money, as he will send it in installments. He mentions that he has received kasturi worth 8,000 mohara. They are also asked to send a Gusāhī who will work on their behalf.
Finally, he notes that replies to previous letters are still pending and requests that responses to all of them be sent.
