LETTER XIV.*

Blessed son, Mahammad A’azam, may God protect and save you. In order to please the most stupid Afazal, you have not dismissed the tyrant, Hasan Beg of Chakleh Kūrá. The people there are lamenting and bewailing and are much distressed. They say (verse) “If you will not give us justice, there is the Day of Judgment (doomsday) for our justice (i. e. God will judge our cause)”. The real accountants* record the tyranny of the officers in your and my accounts. Know well for compensating these actions (of tyranny from Hasan Beg) and enquire into the condi­tions of the inhabitants of that place, otherwise the ‘jághir’ will be taken away from you and you will have no recompense for the loss.
