^ter offering great respects,
Jn continuation of many comrunicatione with the
authorities of your Great Governinenc, and having not received
any satisfactory reply or any fruitful result, I wag obliged to
/
submit thifc letter to Your Excellency, explaining clearly and
briefly what 1 have to say.
Your Excellency* 1 and my family have been tuffaring
for many years, varioue injustices and oppressions, the
humiliating and wrongful effects of which wo have borne patiently?
and we have been driven away and pursued; and we have lost many
chances of recovering what was forcibly taken atvay from us*
In addition to all this, we were prepared to shake hands witn the
Iranian authorities and co-operate with them, according to the
wishes of your Great Government to whom we are bound with
promises and * covenants, while all our equals, either loyal
or disloyal to you, have seized that opportunity without giving
a damn for any one and regained by sword what was forcibly
* ,mT ~
taken from them and they have become semi-iadepwndent in their
territories where their influance runs, having self government,
in spite of the existanoe of the government authority in thoat
territories* But we, who oonsider ourselves more deserving
*
from all points of view, whether elemental or otherwise, are
still living in hopes and imaginations, tasting the bitterness
of material and mental humilation*
as we are not in a position to remind or to censure,
but we are in a position of declaring the facts, thus 1 am
bothering you with this letter saying ?•
Things have readied a climax ana the noose in being
tightened round me and my patience is failing especially now
that our country and religion are * bn the briink of a precipice.
