Correspondence about the death of ‘Ali's wife
Mashhadi Husayn Farrash (from Harsin) writes to Umm al-Khaqan about his sister’s son and husband who have been imprisoned by ‘Ala’ al-Dawlah because of a false accusation of murdering the daughter of Muhammad ‘Ali. The writer describes that Muhammad ‘Ali sent his daughter who was deathly ill to her husband ‘Ali’s house, and after a while she passed away. Then, Muhammad ‘Ali accused his son-in-law (‘Ali) and his father for murdering his daughter. The author asks the addressee to mediate and requests ‘Abd al-Husayn Mirza Farmanfarma forgive his innocent sister’s son and husband. There is handwriting of Umm al-Khaqan in this letter. She asks ‘Abd al-Husayn Mirza Farmanfarma to release ‘Ali and his father from jail.
