| Abstract: |
This document, sent by Kaṃca Puri to Lāya Bhārathi, Varibhadra Puti, Jayarāṃ Bhārathi, and Sio Puri, details trade-related instructions during a time of restricted travel. It notes the current gold price at 23 moharas and 2 sukās, and reports a smallpox outbreak in Shighaste, which has significantly reduced the movement of people. Kaṃca Puri informs that materials have been dispatched with Dhanidhura’s banjāra, and that Prabhā is arriving at the destination. The recipients are instructed to comply with Prabhā’s requests, even at a loss. If materials from Maṃsa Giri are received, all associated gemstones should be sent through Nārāṃ Puri and Prabhā Puri. The sender promises to forward the money as soon as the roads reopen. |
