Additional Information
From both Clive's title and the letter's contents it is clear that the letter was written in Feb 1760. However the Arabic date is 10 Rajab 1166, which approximates to 3 Jun 1753. Since Rajab fell in Feb in 1760, it seems likely that the final digits of the Arabic year were mistranslated.
