Original 'country correspondence', almost all in Persian, covering both Clive's first (1756-1760) and second (1765-1766) governorships of Bengal. A significant proportion of the letters are concerned with political and military affairs in Bengal and also across the Mughal Empire more generally. There are also numerous references to regional trade and taxation, as well as letters entreating Clive to grant pardons or preferment. Much of this correspondence was translated at the time and then recorded, together with the text of Clive's replies, surviving either in original and transcribed letter books or else organised as 'minutes'.
