LETTER CLV.

To-day (my) grandson Muhammad Azim* requested (me) to annex the district of Lashakarpūr* to the ‘jághir’ of Prince A’azam. You should ask him, “With what hope have you cherished this well-wishing in mind? Had this request been suggested to you by A’azam, there would have been no harm. Otherwise you should not make such requests; because they do not augment sincerity of heart but increase pride and self-conceit.” The Almighty God is an agent for us; and I call upon Him. He should have mercy upon us and He may make us enter His shadow.
