Zahra Sultan ‘Izzat al-Saltanah to Khadijah Sultan
Zahra Sultan ‘Izzat al-Saltanah writes to her mother, Khadijah Sultan Khanum and expresses her concern about not receiving letters from her; talks about the moderate winter weather in Hamadan, the nice people there, and her new social life; she describes how women dress in Hamadan, that the old fashions in Tehran are now becoming fashionable in Hamadan: women wear chaqchur [a kind of leggings] when leaving the house as there is no carriage road in the city and people either walk or ride a donkey. She discusses the way they make jams and sweets and mentions that the prices of some goods are higher in Hamadan and that Dar-i Hakimkhanah is a neighborhood similar to Tehran’s Lalahzar. At the end, she asks Khadijah Sultan to send her a list of her debts to Mirza ‘Ali Khan, so she can pay him back.
