LETTER CLXVI.

Mirzá Paymaster, Muhammad Ebráhim, the bashful courtier, has been raised to a high honour, i.e., to the post of ‘Seh-Hazári’, two hundred and five hundred followers, a title of ‘Mirzá Kháni’, and a present of two thousand rupees, at the request of the Begum*. According to (my) order, you should write him a letter communicating these favours. He who acts virtuously and piously is rewarded by God.
