Khanum Buzurg's petition to Majlis

Khanum Buzurg's petition to Majlis

Khanum Buzurg, the wife of Mirza Muhammad Vali Khan, wrote to the Majlis that her husband served in the court when he died. Someone paid for his funeral, but she could not afford to pay him back. She asked the Majlis to give her the money or let her know if they would not do so, so that she could sell her belongings and repay her debt.
