Sakha Ram Chintamani, the Subedar, writes, on 2nd Saban, to Rawal Rai Singh of Bansda :
“Received your letter and learnt all about the matter dealt with therein. In reply I am to inform you that, Ranis Bhimkuar and Jaskuar are ravaging the Parganas of Balod, Kosanawal, Antapur and Bisanpur, You were asked by me, some time ago, to stop them, but instead of doing so, you remind me of my friendship with you. Oh? what a freindship which causes ravaging and molestation in four of the Parganas under me, I don't understand as to what I am to do with your such beneficial freindship. Whether I am to dance in joy or to cry in be wilderment ?
Besides I have learnt that, you have realised Giras twice from these Parganas. Instead of refunding the amonnt to the Rayats or making adjustment in the current year, you write, letter after letter reminding me of your friendship. This will not do now. Send some responsible man, on your behalf, for arriving at an amicable settlement. If amicable settlement is not arrived at in near future, I will have to take some recourse, for protecting these parganas, under me. Besides I have learnt from the Kamavisdar that the income of the Rayat of these Pargana has been greatly reduced, due to the troubles and they are not in a position to make payment of Sarkari Amal. This makes some sort of recourses, imperative on my part.
Under the circumstanes, I request, you to settle the matter at once, otherwise, I will have to devise some effective means, to protect the Parganas as well as the intrest of Royats, living there.
