Letter from Mahd-i ‘Ulya to Nasir al-Din Shah, 1869 or 1870

Mahd-i ‘Ulya writes about Shahzadah Vali’s plight and asks Nasir al-Din Shah to help him by ordering Mu’ayad al-Dawlah and ‘Imad al-Dawlah to each pay fifty tumans a month to Shahzadah Vali; mentions Pasha Khan Muzaffar al-Dawlah’s letter which inquired about his duty after Sardar’s dismissal; discusses the situation of Sipahsalar’s daughter and the challenge of housing her, which is the reason for Mahd-i ‘Ulya’s delay in joining the addressee in the country; advises assigning ‘Azud al-Mulk to talk to the groom and carry on the marriage instead of asking Aqa; and asks for payment of thirty tumans gratuity to ‘Aliyah Sultan Khanum for the plums.
