Images of two letters of Maharani Lakshami Bai of Jhansi. She had written these to the king of her neighbouring estate Banpur - Maharaja Mardan Singh.

Notice that in the first letter she is clearly mentioning (Braj Bhasha) - "à¤¹à¤®à¤¾à¤°à¥ à¤°à¤¾à¤¯ à¤¹à¥ à¤à¥ à¤µà¤¿à¤¦à¥à¤¸à¤¿à¤¯à¥ à¤à¤¾ à¤¸à¤¾à¤¸à¤¨ à¤à¤¾à¤°à¤¤ à¤ªà¤° à¤¨ à¤à¥ à¤à¤¾à¤¹à¤¿à¤à¥ à¤à¤° à¤¹à¤®à¤à¥ à¤à¤ªà¥à¤¨ à¤à¥ à¤¬à¤¡à¥ à¤à¤°à¥à¤¸à¥ à¤¹à¥ à¤à¤° à¤¹à¤® à¤«à¥à¤ à¤à¥ à¤¤à¤¯à¤¾à¤°à¥ à¤à¤° à¤°à¤¹à¥ à¤¹à¥" (Our opinion is that foreign rule should not be allowed to take over Bharat, and we are confident on ourselves, and we are preparing our army)

She is not concerned just about Jhansi, but Bharat. Also notice her use of Vikram Samvat and Hindu calendar (not Hijri prevalent then).

Second letter written from a camp in Kalpi near Kanpur, she is instructing the neighbouring prince about a tactical attack on company's encampment near Gwalior.
