Mufarrah al-Saltanah's petitions, 1923-1931

Mufarrah al-Saltanah’s petitions against Qasim Khan Sardar Humayun: the first petition dates to 16 Jan 1923, in which Mufarrah al-Saltanah, mother of the Sardar Rashid’s children, gives 1500 tumans as a lawyer’s fee to Sayyid Husayn Aqa Hujjat al-Islamzadah as a lawyer’s fee if she receives 12000 tumans from Sardar Humayun. The second petition, written on 24 Feb 1923, again considers Sardar Humayun’s debt to Sardar Rashid’s inheritors. In the third petition, addressed to the Ministry of Justice on 2 March 1931, Mufarrah al-Saltanah complains that Sardar Humayun has not paid his debt of 12000 tumans for 11 years and that he tries to kill time. The envelope of the third letter is included in this item.
