To Shri Maharaj Dhiraj, Shri Maharaja, Shri Raja Mardan Singh Bahadur, from shri Maharani shri Laxmi Bai devi, who says that she wishes that the new/things there is/are good. News/things here is/are good. Your letter arrived, so I came to know your state of affairs. And you had referred to the letter of Shri Maharaj of Sahagadh, so we came to know that after writing (to me) you are marching to Sagar. There, on the way, there are two companies of the English. Attacking and dispersing them, taking the Raja of Sahagadh along, march with your troops straight to Kalpi. I and Tantiya Tope and Nana Sahib are all engaged in the preparation of our troops/army. Therefore, after attacking and dispersing Sir Hugh Rose' forces/army at Motghaat, march straight to Kalpi. From here, we together will attack the English at Gwalior. There ought not to be any delay now. Write and let us know your news/state of affairs. Camp Kalpi
