May God save you from all sorts of trouble and keep you happy. If
you desire to know about us, we are all well by the grace of God and may God
keep you free from all sorts of grief. Show respect to Easul Alla.k ! We have
got some purpose about which we feel obliged to write to you. It is six years
since we entered into Persian Government service and served under the British
Now the Government of Turkey, Government of Germany and Government
of Persia have become one and want all the heads of Baluchistan to furnish
service. Since one week they have sent me frequent invitations and still they
continue to invite me. God is our witness we keep great regard for your
friendship. On receipt of this letter enlist 200 men or 100 camel sowars from
your tribe and reach at Gurg at the end of this month so that we should all go
together. Bemember do not bring any doubt in your heart. Germans have
entered Bam with the Hakims of Bam. It is a day for service. If God desires
it will be good for you. To-day the man who will zealously first enter into
this service will reap the highest benefit. If you doubt our information write
to us soon. We see no other remedy than to enter their service. We will go
because the Shaiky people with the people of Farah have accepted their service
and they are giving them handsome pay. Hakumat Alman (German Govern
ment) is the same Government about which we wrote to you last year. Please
believe us that if there would have been any fraud in it we would never have
written this letter to you. Collect your men as many as possible and bring
soon so that you should be benefited greatly. Whatever persuasion we are
putting on you look upon it as a small matter.
