LETTER LXXXIX.

Grandson of high dignity, you have requested me regarding the assignment of the district of Shankarpūr as a ‘Jághir’ to Sháh Álijáh (i.e., your father). I did not know whence you acquired such well wishing. It is no matter had Álijáh himself requested me about what you requested. Otherwise remove such foolish ideas from (your) head; because they do not increase love and friendship (between us). Nay such foolish ideas are proper to be a cause of affliction to self conceit and pride.
