I regret to have to inform ^our Excellency, that the house
of my Inter^ reter Ibrahim was broken into this morning and a consi
derable amount of ro erty was stolen some of which he can easily
identify a list of which I attach#^.
Ke left his house to come to the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. at about 3 O’clock
and a few mintues afterwards his servant also went out to the sho, s
leaving the house securely locked. When she returned at about 9 —
O’clock she found that the lock of the door had been broken as also
had three locks inside the house. After I^tehim had been informed
the matter
and had seen the damage he ret otted/to me and I sent my Head clerk
Mr.D'Mello to the house to corroborate Ibrahim's statement. Mr,
D’Mello walked round about the house to see if he could z ind any
\
clft^and found two pieces pf buff paj er, of a type which I use ih
my office, in which money had obeviously been wra^ ed, lying in the
street near the house about .fifty yards from the house, and as •
Ibrahim had reviously informed me his money was wr^apped up in pa-
er of this type, it is no dou-bt the same.
I ho, e Your Excellency will cause very careful inquiries
made with a view to rsaswery recovering the _ ro. erty if ^ossible
and bring the criminal to. book.
I am sending Ibrahim himself with this letter so that yo^
can ask him for any further information you require .
