The letter dated 26th November, 1675 reads:
Source: English records on Shivaji 1659-1682 by Shiva Charitra Karyalaya, pg. 74, Available at: http://library.du.ac.in/dspace/bitstream...281%29.pdf
The rest of the letter can be read at the above link on pg. 75.
In a letter dated 23 January 1669/1670 from the English records President Gary of Surat wrote the following to Lord Arlington, pg. 140:
ââ¬ÅThe archrebel Sevagee is againe engaged in armes against Orangsha, who, out of a blinde zeale for reformation, hath demolished many of the Gentues temples and forceth many to turne Musslemins.ââ¬Â
