the Maharaja's sowaree and usually goes to Eaizoo's room, and sits and talks
with him. I also have seen a Mussulman called " the Kazee " who goes to visit
Faizoo. I do not know who he is, or what he comes for, but I have heard that
he came to visit the Reverend Mr. Taylor. I have often seen him when
Mr. Taylor has not been here.

time when the Commission was sitting, he asked me to give him information
about Bhow Poonekur, and promised me to get some favor from the Maharaja.

to Mukhurpoora, would not allow me to sit in the bullock-cart provided
for the servants. I had a quarrel with him about this. I did not tell
Poonekur what Salam had said to me, as no fresh overtures were made
to me. I know the old Hamal Govind Baloo, he lives near my room only
two doors off; his old wife lives with him and no one else. I have never seen
any one go and visit him.
Eaizoo lives in the city, but he has a room in the servants' quarters. I know
him since I came to the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. to live. He usually brings his food with him
from his house. He does not have any expense here that I know of, nor have I
seen him go to the Camp Bazaar.

language which he understands, is acknowledged by him to be correct.
