About this item
- Content
The firmaun [ firman A Persian word meaning a royal order or decree issued by a sovereign, used notably in the Ottoman Empire (sometimes written ‘phirmaund’). ] regards an issue over Shaik Mohumed, who was managing the Government of Bushire in the absence of Shaik Abdel Russool [Shaikh ‘Abd al-Rasūl Khān]. Shaik Mohumed is believed to have become alarmed by the release of Mohumed Nebbe Khan and fled the town. The Prince is sending a representative to verify this, as he claims that he has no reason to be alarmed at this turn of events. The firmaun also questions why no words of warning were received from the British Resident.
