To SYED AHMED SAHEB, BOODHUN SHÂH, NUBBY SHÂH, KULEEMÛLLAH SHÂH, and others (PEER-ZÂDEHS or Devotees); dated from SHÂNOOR, 24th ZUBURJUDY. (23d October.)
BY the blessing of God and the aid of the Prophet, the forces of the accursed having experienced a signal defeat and chastisement, have turned their faces to flight, leaving the troops of Islâm victorious over the enemies of the faith. Thus has the army of the accursed infidels been trodden under foot by the hoofs of the horses of Islâm, and rendered vile and miserable; while the religion of Mahommed has been thereby made to flourish.
You, Sir, are one of the elders [of the faith], and will therefore apply, with all your heart, to the best means of advancing the religion of Mahommed, and of administering to the support of Islâm.
N. B. Here follows an inventory of the presents, respectively, sent to the persons addressed; by which it would appear, that the highest in the Sultan’s estimation were Boodhun Shâh and Nubby Shâh.
