Khadijah Sultan to Zahra Sultan ‘Izzat al-Saltanah

Khadijah Sultan writes to her daughter, Zahra Sultan ‘Izzat al-Saltanah, and complains that she has not heard from her. She then reports that Aqa [Riza Khan Nizam al-Saltanah] has become the governor of Kirmanshah and describes his preparations for travel and who will accompany him. She also mentions that Nizam al-Saltanah has not left them with enough money and did not even give her back the thousand and two hundred tumans he owed them.
