LETTER XXXI.

YOUR amber-scented epistle arrived at a lucky time; and my brain was refreshed by it’s contents. With regard to what was written by your friendly and amicable pen on the subject of attention and respect, and of pleasing the beloved Prelate Shaik Zeeaullah, verily considering his arrival to be really the descent of the mercy of God, on seeing the said enlightend Prelate I became delighted and happy. And having conformably to your directions exerted myself heartily to the utmost of my power and ability, I have performed the duties of sincerity. As the said Prelate, having settled his business here to his satisfaction, has now turned towards your territories, he will surely report my distressed situation. What farther trouble should I give you?
