Content: The letter is forwarding one communication; a translation of a letter from Nasser Oolah Khan to Nicholas Hankey Smith, received 17 April 1808. The letter concerns the claims of Aga Mohummed Ismail [Āghā Muḥammad Ismā’īl] against some of the inhabitants of Hyderabad currently residing in Bombay. The author is astonished that the authorities in Bombay have kept the claimant waiting for two years, especially given the connection to Persian Government property. It is requested that the Resident write once again to the Governor General to get the matter resolved.
