HAVING waved the customary compliments, it is intimated to your friendly soul that it is a long time since you laid open your affectionate heart with an account of your welfare; my mind is therefore exceedingly anxious. Surely the cause of that is nothing but forgetfulness. I am hopeful that contrary to what is past, you will keep the gates of intercourse open; that my mind may be at ease. At present the reverend and excellent Shaik Zeeaullah, who is one of the accomplished and great men of the age; and to whose noble race I am strongly attached by duty and fidelity, has proceeded towards your territories. It is proper that, considering the honor of seeing him as fortunate, and studying from your soul to honor and respect him, and esteeming his application to you, on any business or transaction a happiness, you be guilty of no neglect in bringing it to a conclusion: for his soul is dear to me; and on this account I shall be exceedingly obliged to you. May your friends be prosperous.
