My Dear Sir

I had hoped to have met you today but as I have not I write to request you will kindly present for me some coins of several of the Early Pathan Emporers of Hindustan to the Museum - as follows

a. 3 coins of Sultan Mahomud Shah Likunder Sani (?)

b. 1 coin of Ghyas-ud-Dun, Bulbus(?)

c. 1 Sultan Kintub ud Dun Mubarik Shah Khilgi A. H. 716

d. 1 Sultan Zughluk Shah A. H. 722

e. 5 Sultan Ghyas ud Dun Zughluk

These coins are highly debased metal. an account. This measure of the later Pathan Monarch is recorded by historians- I will give a memo on the subject.

I hope to add to this trifling donation shortly when my luggage arrives

Yours very truly

W. Nithee

p.s. for some time to come I shall remain at Coddenham
