	Summary Remarks	Letter from Thomas Parry to Robert Campbell, at Bimlipatam. Mentions that the prices of Company's paper are nearly the same as when he last wrote. The fall in its value has been occasioned by the issuing of Treasury Bills. We are on the point of starvation, if our supplies from Bengal not be immense then we cannot escape famine. You should secure the rice you mentioned in one of your former letters.
