for three or four generations we have been eating the salt
of the British Goverment. It is the time to pay for the
Government and make a anme for yourselves and your ancestors...
Never forget for a moment your loyalty and devotion to Goverment.
Look at those who have displayed their loyalty to Goverment,
ho they have been given rewards with lands & honours."
