Abstract
Joseph Reed letter to Justin Perkins in which Reed notes the continued distress in the city and the southern districts. He writes regarding a breakfast Colonel Sheil gave to about 3,000 beggars and poor people on the Queen's birthday, the 24th. Reed says that last year it was difficult to get labourers for fourteen Shabees a day but now there are thousands glad to work for six a day. He goes on to discuss the ploughs he noticed in one of the Hajee's villages which were made on same principle as the one Perkins gave him. Reed also writes regarding the Shah's pain and treatment by Dr. Cloquet, the travel plans of Colonel Farrant and Lady, and Count Satiges' activities.
