The letter reports that Ally Mahomet Kahn [Ali Mohammed Khan, the Zand Governor of Basra], in response to his defeat by Arab forces gathered a force of 8,000 men but was totally defeated by an Arab force of 12-15,000 and was killed or taken prisoner. Since their victory, the Arabs (under the leadership of Shaikh Yamar) are said to have surrounded Bussora [Basra] and stopped people entering and leaving.
