Documents related to Nasir al-Mamalik's properties, 1914-1927

The documents include two settlements between Hasan Khan Ulfat (Ihtisham al-Sultan) and Nasir al-Mamalik about profits and losses derived from renting Nasir al-Mamalik’s gardens, land, and crops. Another settlement, between Zaman al-Mulk and Nasir al-Mamalik, is about Zaman Bayg’s property. On the margin, Khavar Khanum and her brother have acknowledged the correctness of the settlement. Some of the documents are payment receipts of Nasir al-Mamalik’s taxes to the Tax Office in either money or crops such as wheat, barley, and straw. The last document is a report complaining about planting trees and alfalfa and building in Nasir al-Mamalik’s properties. According to the reporter, the trees and alfalfa belong to another person and not to Nasir al-Mamalik.
